Dueling

So part of Cameron's party was having the battles or duels with the other kids. If you are familiar with the Percy Jackson story then this will be make sense to you. Here is Cameron with his party table all set up for Camp Half Blood.

Scott was running the party and here he is instructing the camp on the battle plan and the rules. Each boy was given a sword (water noodle with a PVC pipe in about half of it. If you put it the whole length it is much too hard and we were worried someone would get hurt. Without the PVC they are too flimsyto battle with.) The whole plan was a boys dream though!

After a test run on the baseball field we took the boys down into a ravine area of this park so that they could have their battle. They divided into two teams and they each had to try to get the lighting bolt for their team and get it safely back to the other base without being tagged.

Here is Kaylie and Cameron having a battle with a few of the boys. They had a great time battling, I think the boys could have done this all day. How its that exciting is beyond me! Boys will be boys though!
