Dodge Ball
Lining up. People on my left and right. Another line 30-40 ft. away.
A big man named Brett is standing in the middle of the two lines. He steps back and he yells,"Ready, set, dodge ball!"
The two lines go bolting to the middle. I run also. When I get to the middle, a boy with dark brown hair, a slender build, and average height for his age picks a dodge ball up and throws it at me with both hands. I jump back. It misses. I retreat out of the way.
Whiz! "That just went by head," I say to a blond girl beside me.
Ooh that had to hurt. It hit George right square in the chess...
Whoosh!! Pay attention Al. You were almost hit.
Dodge, duck, sidestep, and catch.Thud. Held on to that one. I yell, "One in!"
People on both sides are falling like dead ducks.
Duck,BOOM, get up, left, BOOM! Who threw that one?"I question. "That would be Jared. He can throooo.... I'm out." Said Billy.
I am looking left then right. Jared is aiming at me. He is throwing hard.... "Watch out!" someone yells. I drop on the floor. The speeding dodge ball goes whizzing by my head.
Four on six. Wait. Three on six.
Two dodge balls, I pick both up. I come up to the line, throw one up and the other I throw at the guy trying to catch the first one. The round projectile hits him in the gut.
Someone on my side just threw one at Jared and got him out.
Three on four. Wait, another one of them is out. Three on three!
All three of them dodge balls. They all threw them at one of our guys. The first one comes up short, the second throws and hits him in the gut and he goes for the catch, but the third hits him in the foot and knocks him to the ground.
Two on three. While they are congratulating themselves I pick a dodge ball up and throw it at one of them and I hit him.
Two on two.
My teammate and I pick up two dodge balls each. He throws one up, I throw one at the guy going for it.... miss. My teammate throws his last dodge ball.... It hit the other guy. Brett yells,"You're out. Two on one.
I roundhouse (a full circle throw) my last one. It hits the guy in the head. Brett yells,"You're still in, head shot."
He (opponent) picks up a dodge ball, thinking that my teammate threw the head shot. He throws and nails my teammate off his feet.
He picks up one dodge ball in each hand. I pick up one.
I can fell my heart pounding.
He makes a quick but softer throw at me. I drop my dodge ball and go after it. He takes the advantage and roundhouses his other dodge ball. All hope is lost to dodge it. On one knee I brace myself, open my arms and I bring them together swiftly.... I look down, a dodge ball in my arms.
My teammates come out cheering.
Brett walks back into the middle saying, "New game."
"Alex wake up. We are in Bismarck." Just a dream. Ahhhh....

Camp Again
I guess you people would like to know how camp was.
I had lots of fun and I am sure almost everybody else had fun except for 2 boys who had to go to the E.R. 1 got smacked in the face during a rec game he was fine just a nasty bruise.
The other got stitches because of a temper.
The speaker was good, the band was good, the rec games were good and gross, and free-time was fun. Just it was a good week of camp.
Sorry no pic's. I am very sorry. I forgot to get a disposable camera.

Leaving
We will be leaving Mandan in uh, when we are ready. My pockets are full of "Atomic Fireballs" man these things are good.
All the boys Laura's age and up to eleven wanted to dance with her at the wedding. It was a smaller wedding so she was the only smaller girl there. Who danced at least Lily did not dance she was tired and crabby. No pics yet, but I will get my faithful viewers (orchestra in the background) PICTURES if I like it you not. (well I do like blogging)
Goooooodbye!!!!!!!
