Time to celebreate the summer months. The kids have had a lot of fun this summer doing many things. They have gone several times tubing down the river, there has been hikes to various places, caves explored, waterfalls seen, movies watched and a whole bunch of neat things going on. Our station kids and kids of volunteers have all taken part in these events. Last night was our turn to host a summer event for the kids. It was for school age and college age young people with three people from the older generation tossed in. We also had some medical volunteers take part and that was nice also. We had a bonfire outside where we roasted weiners and later had S'Mores and we had an Air Hockey tournament that was a lot of fun. We randomly chose people from a hat to pair everyone up and we ended up with eight parings in our brackets. We had a winners bracket and a losers bracket with the winner from each of these 2 brackets playing for the championship. Jordan, husband of our school teacher and maintenance man, was
the winner's bracket respresentative and Jeff was the loser's bracket representative. They played for the championship and it was a rematch of an earlier game that sent Jeff to the loser's bracket. Jeff had Jordan against the ropes with a lead of 9 to 7 but Jordan held on and came back to take the game beating Jeff 10 to 9. It was a great game and hard fought but Jordan is the Air Hockey Champion of this night. Maybe Jeff will beat him next time.
