July 12 – Death by chocolate







Each weekend the KOA has a themed set of activities – this weekend is all about chocolate. After starting the day off with a pancake breakfast Mike was revved up and ready to do every activity on the calendar. The chocolate slip ‘n slide - yes real chocolate syrup all over the slide and kids, with a little water thrown in as well. What a sight and smell. Rob and Ant also enjoyed the slide.(pic) After cleaning up that mess the kids moved on to a chocolate eating contest. Quite the grossest thing to see. I was surprised - Mike was pretty close behind the winner(pic). He just ate small pieces at a time. The kids who stuffed it all in at the same time choked and were quite an unpleasant sight. Ant and Rob did not participate but did enjoy watching round after round of eaters/stuffers. The least repulsive activity was the chocolate milk relay. It got the kids running and did not involve any eating/drinking. Mike got the whole jug of choc milk dumped on his head even though his team did not win(pic). He loved that. The day ended with us watching a movie out on the lawn - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate factory. Bars of chocolate were handed out to everyone. Overall a fun day!
