Day two and three

After waking up, after catching up on all those hours of sleep that we had lost previously, we had a few days ahead of us to spend with our host families. One of the activities that I took part in in the day was swimming at a local outdoor swimming pool. Although we do have swimming pools back in England, I found it really enjoyable, especially as the water was warm. However, in the evening we were lucky enough to witness "That Famous Preston Night Rodeo" which was simply fantastic.

The rodeo consisted of eight separate events - all being just as good to watch as each other. The events stretched from bareback riding to bull riding. Personally my favorite event was the bull riding. I have no idea how brave you must be to ride those ferocious bulls but no body would get me on its back. Adding to our evening of entertainment we also got to put another state down that we had visited - Idaho. A late night to bed but it was definitely worth it.

Waking up tho the brightness of the sun shining though the window tells you that its going to be a extremely hot day which we were spending with our hosts. And it was right. The highest the temperature reached was 36 decreases C. I had the experience of looking round a American style farmers market, which I must say I found interesting. Mine and another host family met up for the day and had various activities including having a fabulous BBQ. For the very first time I tried elk meat and it was lovely. In the evening we all traveled up to Idaho to fish. A first time for me. Apart from Randy, Garrett caught the most fish out of the scouts with a total of 12 - impressive.

Just a overview of the next few days are as follows. Tomorrow we have another day spent with our host families, before an early start Monday morning for the start of Camp Loll.
