Urban Camping

Before I go on to explain urban camping I need to give props to a couple of girls in my Wednesday night class. Makayla and Nancy Piepgras sang "Breakfast" by the Newsboys at their all school talent show yesterday. They were wonderful! There was quite an assortment of talent. One girl did an Oriental fan dance, a little boy did tap dancing, and another girl did a ribbon dance and of course there was the usual singing and choreographed dances. They were all pretty good, I didn't really get the fan dance though. So good job girls! I am proud of you!
Urban camping. Well let me tell you the events leading up to our urban camping experience just for dramatic effect. My second year class, Brent Kintz, Kacie Bates, Kim Bowen, MaryBeth Kraemer and myself, all planned to hang out Tuesday night for one last hurrah. It started out great because Brent gave us all flowers and sang for us. Then he surprised us even more by taking us out to dinner where he had more flowers for us. (He is such a gentleman.) Well after dinner we could not decided what to do, we almost went to Canada but decided to save that for later. We then agreed on roasting smores over a bonfire. We couldn't find a good place to have a bonfire so we ended up going to the church, taking a bunch of chairs and sitting on the roof. Yep, we roasted marshmallows with a little candle torch. We got a little bored later and started throwing marshmallows at random people walking on the street below. It was pretty funny until a cop started circling the building. We quickly decided it was time to go which ended up being a good thing because just as we were leaving Jonathan Willey, Kevin Emerson, and Red Williamson (aka Aardvark Arsenal) were just coming back from a concert they did and became a prime target for the last of our smore supplies. A marshmallow fight was a fun way to end the night. Urban camping was a great experience, definitely different than the real thing but what can you do when you are in an urban setting with out a bonfire?
