Some fun in the wilderness

This morning we woke up and had to stretch out some tight muscles. We always miss our bed when we go away but sleeping on a thin cot left much to be desired. We headed to the dining hall where we had breakfast and talked with our group. Then we went back to the cabin and got ready for the day. We headed off with our friends, Kim and Eddie and
found the archery course. Bresa gets to practice archery at school but the rest of us had never tried it before. We had a great time and though it wasn't very easy we all took several turns and got better as the time passed. The instructors have good pointers and helped us with our grips and aiming. I asked if the first rule in archery was that the bow was always loaded. They just
stared at me. I guess they only shot bows and never guns, I thought it was funny though. After we had our fill of quills we let the children go to the craft building where they were able to make a bunch of pictures for Halloween and Thanksgiving. While they were doing that Peter and I went with Kim and Eddie to play badminton. Peter and I had never played before but quickly got into it. We had a great time and got quite the work out. We played two games before the kids came back and then we went into a play hall where we found ping pong and pool tables.
next it was time for lunch and then there were going to be water activities after that. We ate and were heading back to the cabin when Javan started wheezing and coughing really bad. We had him lie down while we decided what to do and then ultimately decided to take him to the Emergency Room. The hospital in Deland had a huge wait when we got there so we decided to drive a bit farther and take Javan
to an urgent care center in Orange City. We had left the girls with our group so they could continue to have fun so it was just the three of us. When we got to the urgent care center they took us right in and we were out of there in less than 20 minutes. They gave us 5 prescriptions for allergies, cough, antibiotics, etc. Pretty much to cover all the bases. We took the scripts over to Publix and while we were waiting for them to fill them we went home to take showers and get all cleaned up. We picked up the meds and then some dinner as we knew we would miss the cook out and headed back to camp. We got there in time for some more badminton and then wandered over to the camp fire for stories and smores. I was exhausted tonight so Peter and I checked in early which was good since had to get up several times in the night to help Javan take medicine.
