Wars Follow Theme Parks

In the middle of a bunk war! Well almost... 
It's 10pm, night has fallen...
The kids in my house are in the back room sitting on their floor chairs making plans, whispering incessantly. They've even split themselves up in to action groups. "Homeland Security" dedicated to protecting our house. Schematics for an intricate pulley system alarm have been drawn up - so far it only switches the light on, but once more string is available the plans involve, triggering catapults, switching on sound systems, even raising protective barriers to protect any incoming 'axebombs' which is an Axe (the american brand for Lynx) antiperspirant can with a pin in the side, which smokes out a room and covers everything in white. That's just one example of an attack weapon developed by "Battle Command", but frequently mentioned around camp, so clearly a common tool in bunk wars.
Everyone's on high alert looking out the windows, full house black out in effect. Every noise resulting with a flurry of lights flashing out and around the house.
I've unwittingly been dragged in, given the title president and being used to tie all the knots they need to make their systems work.
With so much activity I doubt I'll be sleeping soon so I'll give a quick run down of the last couple days. 
Wednesday was amazing! The entire upper senior campus went to Six Flags New England, I spent the day in a walking group with 4 surprisingly well behaved kids, but we still went on all the biggest rides; "Bizzaro" and "Batman" being the biggest and best. 
I genuinely felt sorry for whoever had the pleasure of trying to control the kids from my house.
Thursday was my day off, picked up a few friends from Danbee and went shopping in Lee Outlet Mall. Finally I have a hoodie; the one important thing I forgot to bring! Again an absolute steal at $5 and it's Billabong - from the same store I got the Volcom Tops from. Have to love sales! 
Went to Lenox beach for a swim and had dinner at Betty's Pizza. However the night got interesting when my buddy Alex ate cashew nuts and I had to rush him to the nurses office for his epi-pen. So good drive again! It's made me miss my car and miss driving so much.
On the lake, things have been all good, had to make a few rescues to stranded campers...one windsurfer making it to the other side of the lake and then the wind died, also one sailor falling out of the sailing dingy and their partner not knowing how to turn the dinghy leaving them stranded in the middle of the lake and the dinghy heading in the wrong direction at speed, least to say I was fits of laughter.

A Mah-Kee-Nac traditional event is approaching...
Big weekend ahead of us...
CARNIVAL!
But remember nothing at Mah-Kee-Nac is normal!
