Keep on Truckin'

We are now in full swing as far as road life. It is pretty great. Life in the 12 passenger van is pretty amusing and sometimes very smelly. Things we've done to amuse ourselves: put on the gorilla mask and wave at traffic (especially school buses), turn things into projectiles, turn a large quantity of mattresses into a fort and then coat a stair case with them for sleeping bag luge, try to hold your breath for a mile on the road (Peter is best at that game), the game "My Cows" rules will be explained later, buy foam swords from Walmart and basically go nuts, read The Screwtape Letters out-loud in the van, flashlight tag with plastic guns that have flashlights taped to them, play "Sardines" (reverse hide and go seek) in a rectory that has atleast three "creepy tunnels" and rooms upon rooms of pitch black with no flashlights, invent new inventive forms of the hug (including the hugsplotion which is like an action movie tackle while screaming "GET DOWN!!!" and the less popular creepy hug) and of course stare at your teammates at creepy close distance so when they notice they get a little creeped. This is pretty much what happens when we are in a van for too long, we go a little crazy. Retreats are amazing. I'll break down what a NET Retreat consists of in a later post!!!
