It's Friday, Friday... The Very First Friday

Wackey Water Wednesday was a blast.  If you were at all concerned about my ear, don't be.  I used a, ear plug and didn't allow a single person to dump water on my head.  Splashing was a go, though.  Logan would have been sad if he wasn't able to splash me a little :D.  The drops are working really well, so I don't think I'll need that surgery.  It was a really good time, and I got to take two of my girls on one-on-ones in the canoes.  One-on-ones are when we can give our camper private time to talk to us about thier questions and to see where they are in their walk.  The two I talked to are from divorced parents (they're sisters), and they'll be split up.  It was incredibly sad listening to them talk about it.  Even more so for the youngest, because I don't think she's quite old enough to understand.  The girls got to choose where they were going though, so at least they have a choice. They are very fun and sweet and I'll be sad to see them go.

We had the medieval festival/carnival after that, and that was really fun.  We had the picture booth I had painted last week, a dunk tank, pretzels, food booths, face painting, sword fights (with paper swords), and a whole lot more.  The Junior campers were just exhausted however, and it really came out during the carnival.  Because of this, the campers went to bed almost a whole hour early.  It was wonderfull!  If you were wondering, this is what a basic daily schedule for this week looks like:

6:00 am Lindsay's Rise and Shine
7:00 Campers Rise and Shine
7:45 Flag Raising
8:00 Breakfast
8:45 Pit to Palace (cleaning the rooms.  My cabin has won twice!)
9:15 Chapel and T.A.G Time (Time Alone with God)
10:30 Rotation 1 (me: photography)
11:20 Rotation 2 (Hour off)
12:30 Lunch (my counselor meeting)
1:15 Flat on Back Time (NAP TIME!) (Doesn't always happen sadly)
1:45 Free Time
3:20 Instruction Hour 1 (Crafts)
4:20 Instruction Hour 2 (Crafts)

And then the evenings are always something different. We have supper, and a game.  This year we've started memorizing bible passages, and my campers are good! So proud.  Tonight we have Skit Night, where the staff has prepared a little show for the campers.  It should be a lot of fun!!

Time to head down to lunch! Hope you're all having a great day!
