Maylong 2010

well another maylong camp out has come and gone and what a maylong it was! theres nothing better than getting out of city and town life away from technology and spending a weekend on the lake with friends! i think one of the greatest parts of the maylong is the fact that we are forced to enjoy God's creation, both earth and humanity.

the weekend started with a group of us camping on Friday including Lance, Jer, Bruce, Sam, Ben, Ryley, and even Dev and the Jay man! one of the greatest moments was getting a phone call from the Jay man asking if i could pick him up! great to have dev and jay get out this year!

Dev brought his chain saw out and took down some dead trees and worked around the clock to get the hot tub going. i dont think we have ever chopped so much wood and along with that we had a wood chopping contest that Ryley won on the greenest wettest log i have ever seen! by 2 am it was hot enough for the jay man and dev to hop in and needless to say that was about it for the hot tub. it turned into a bit of a swamp and was no longer fit for safe soaking!

Saturday the beach really got hopping with many alumni and current btln boys joining us making a great crew of btln nation storming the beach! Including Josh Trainer and Blake Chursinoff WALKING to the beach haha! they actually did it this year but both said they will never do it again haha. it was great to see Josh out this year too coming back from the war. we also were blessed with the presence of Dalton Erixon taking the week off to join us. man o man it is never a dull moment with Daltron around, especially when we all get tired and hes eating 7 hot dogs hahahahahaha. on top of that he paid Blake 50 bucks to eat some bark which was funny, i wonder what we will have to eat next year? maybe a booger from ryleys nose!?

Food, fires, crib, risk, and poker were the key words for the weekend and this year in the finals we had Lance, Norm, Aaron and Zane in the final match for Crib and for the first time Aaron and Zane took the title for maylong crib champions! way to go guys!

overall it was an amazing weekend that everyone enjoys and everyone looks forward to! as far as the btln year goes we have one event left which is Creation Fest (my personal favorite) and then we will be looking forward to the fall for another amazing year! looking forward to creation fest and i hope you all have a great summer! check in from time to time on the ol blog for random updates and information on bands, the btln nation, and WHO WON THE 40,000 Ipod!!!!! as always keep it real and we will see you next time!
