04.06 - fan the flame. Photos

We had a blast in the cool mountains of Frozen Head State Park. Our site was beautiful, right on the edge of a bubbling creek. The night was perfect. The tents were set up in no time, and before heading out for some crazy games, we roasted some hot dogs over the fire. The field was ripe for some serious soccer and blind man's kickball competition. All was going great till Brad blasted a kick right at Aimee Craig. She survived. Then moments later, Ben came soaring across the field for a stray ball. He nailed Anna. She survived. Finally, Bryan was calling for an inbound pass, and while waving his arms slugged Beth in the shoulder. She yelped in pain, but she survived. After soccer, we headed back for some smores and some testimonies around the fire. A game of spoons and some dunked heads in the creek later, we all hit the hay for the night.

The morning came faster than we wanted, but some tasty eggs and hashbrowns woke us all up. A few people ventured to the creek for some harrowing adventures, and a few others found a "beaver dam" although most claim that its only a tree that fell over the crick. We headed back out of the mountains and into the foothills of Oak Ridge. All in all an awesome day.
