Theme: PATRIOT (in honor of the 4th)
Week 2 was fabulous now that I've gotten a routine down. Waking up at 6:30AM and going to bed at 11PM isn't exactly my cup of tea, but I'll survive. Love, love, love my roomies! (Boots, Hazel and Squeaky--in The Hovel.)
Waiting in costumes for the girls to arrive
Radar & I were a story stop along the Legend Trail (red stripe)
Cute Radar, real cute
Stitch & Squeaky
Me & one of my best friend's little sisters, Emma
I helped out with a unit this week because the counselor had a girl with special health needs which took a couple hours each day. When I asked if they needed help planning their skit, they all chimed in "No Ric Rac, we're done and memorized, we don't need your help" Okay then, I chuckled. Boy, what a responsible group of young ladies. They say we're the ones teaching the girls, but I think the girls taught me more. At the end of the week, their counselor (Denver) says "Girls, did Ric Rac shape you up?" and in response they said "No, we shaped her up!" :)
The cabin my "temporary" girls stayed in; felt so proud to be a part-time counselor!
Morning TNT skit; I was "Uncle Sam-antha"
Found these wooden bowling pins up in the Craft Shack attic. Brought them down, dressed them up with some artistic genius and sold them. A hit among the girls, were completely sold out in 3 days!My favorite included a pink poodle whom we later named Prince who is now the mascot of The Hovel.
Tried finding mini-versions of counselors this week. I present mini-Mermaid!
Me & mini-Ric Rac; she was quite adorable!
Scout, Waffle, Hazel, Mermaid and Sunny
Pinecones/Headbands Night where the SOS and Kitchen Staff get together to finish all the preparations for Legend Ceremony and Pinecone Legend. This particular night turned into a karaoke/dance party to Hannah Montana, Taylor Swift, and more. Fun times! I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life....
Fives chillin' while the dance party continues
Sunny, Hazel, Mermaid and Bug jammin' out
Mermaid (scroll up to compare to the mini version)
Yet another TNT skit, Codger (a senior missionary) played Paul Revere
Sunny & I (A British soldier-ette & "Uncle Sam-antha")
Boots getting ready to rappel her girls down the rock where I was helping
Group of girls after Lifeline--one just couldn't stand the wait and had to take a quick nap
Emma rappelling down the rock, she's a champ!
One of my counselors when I went to Brighton as a Beehive! Basically the reason I applied to work here. Sparkle is amazing!!! :D
Emma & I saying our goodbyes, yes, there were tears between both of us
Boots & I; best friends for life
The squirrels at Brighton are definitely NOT shy, no zooming in or anything, this little guy was ONLY like 6 inches away from me! Must be all the girls smuggling food outside to feed them...
