Black Out

What a busy Friday it was for the Heinisch family.  Meg started the day off with the Camp Mack challenge.  During it the students run a two mile path through the woods of Camp Mack.  Meg finished a very respectable 20th overall.  I had a great morning working the challenge.  I was the one who told them which way to run when they met the fork in the path.  It was hot - close to 95, but most of the students were had a great time.

Next on the agenda was Cam's attendance at Braxton's birthday party after school.  He had a fantastic time playing games with his friends and making his own pizza.  He has such a great group of friends.  After I picked up Cameron I took Meg to the high school football game.  It  was supposed to be a night of rivalry and fun.  Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate as the storms hit right before the game was to start keeping the crowds out until the lightning strikes ended.

Cal and his friends took advantage of the theme "Black Out" to paint their entire bodies and write GET$ in gold on top of their "black" chests.  I know they had a great time waiting in line with all of their body painted friends.  After the lightning and storms started they moved the students into the gym for safety reasons.  That just added to the fun of the evening.

I was at home with Cam and Evan.  Neither of them had any desire to go to the game.  Meg was so excited to go as most of her friends had plans on attending.  As no one knew when the weather would subside or the game would start, Meg hung out with Doug and his soccer team.  They were to sell concessions, but instead perused the crowd looking to unload some of the popcorn that had already been made.

The night didn't end as everyone had planned, but the Heinisch children seemed to have a lot of fun anyway.  I may have not gotten everything done that I had planned, but it was a lot of fun watching Cal and his friends paint one another and listen to Meg and Cam talk about the evening.  The game has been rescheduled for tomorrow afternoon.  We will see what that change will bring.
