Lake Eildon Camping Trip

Okay, We went on this 3 day, 2 night camp to Lake Eildon with a massive group of church friends. I'll list all the kids/teens that went. It's a lot.. Jonathan, Tess, Cayden, Deznel, Gareth, Kendrick, Latitia, Elysia, Keesha, Eldrich, Brian, Megan, Melissa, Mavis, Michelle, Martyn, Ryan, Elina, Carine, Kevin, Daniel, Raelene and I. As you can see, a lot of us. :) Let's start with tents. There were 2 massive 9 people tents. And even our 4 man tent was pretty big. School camp deprived us.. I never even knew such huge tents existed! lol. The campsite was next to a beautiful river where I skidded a rock for the first time in my life. My best was 4!! Gareth's was 8. Gosh, he's a freak. lol. joking. Kendrick's was 6... The river was shallow and we dunked our feet into the cool, clear water whenever we felt like it; hopping across rocks to get from place to place. On the second day, SOCCER! Yes we played soccer. Though it took Megan and I about 3o minutes to finally find people who wanted to play and a flat area to do it. -.- I got about 3 shades tanner... And swimming in the pool; in which the water was kinda disgusting. Slightly murky and sour. o.o BUT I splashing around and having fun was worth it. I think. -.- Delicious bbq for dinner. :D OMGSH! The sky was so clear that night. It looked like someone had grabbed a handful of those glitter things and flung it across the sky. It was breathtaking. And you won't believe it, but I saw a shooting star. It was so sudden. There, then gone. But it was magical. That short streak of light across like a 10cm of the sky brought a smile to my face. OH and the marshmellows around the bonfire!! Michelle hired me as her personal Marshmellow burner. xP I make them perfectly brown and crispy outside, and soft and melty and fluffy oozing out from inside. That night the parents had us split into 3 groups to do skits. Erm. My group which consisted me Brian, Ryan, Jon, Mavis, Cayden and I, did the spongebob theme song. It was soo funny. Kevin and Martyn did 'Henry Chow'. They memorized the whole thing from youtube. o.o And Kendrick's group did the Lion dance as Cny is coming. He was really enthusiastic. Tess was too. hahaha. Then we all went into a tent and told jokes. A slight change from the night before, where we shared scary stories. Omgsh. the dog. dog. dog. EEEK. Kinda racist joke by Gareth A black kid went to the toilet. He had diarrhea. He looked down and shouted, 'MUM! I'm melting!' Oh yeah, we went water rafting too. :) And fishing, using earthworms as bait. Quite gross. But fishing was fun. :D Denzel tried casting, but when he swung the rod back, it got stuck on the thorn bushes.. I had to, while ow-ing, reach in and slowly untangle it. I have these tiny specks and cuts of red on my legs now. lol. But it's okay. It was fun. xP Heaps of random singing and music playing too. Well, time to move on. School on Tuesday... Tommy
