The summer after 8th grade I went with my mom’s church to Georgia.
We stayed on a farm with a bunch of other youth and worked all week.
Helping people out was great, but the last night we were there, we all went down to the pecan orchard and played capture the flag for hours.
It was pitch black but we had flashlights on the ground to show boundaries.
The flags were dark, so they were hard to find. We stayed out until about 3 AM playing. It was so much fun. We all were scratched up because we kept tripping over roots and running into trees, but oh my. It was so great.
There were people in trees, low crawling across the field and people making insanely fast dashes to try and find the flags.
So so so so so so fun.
I go on nighttime adventures all the time, but this was one of the best.
