Camp Week 1 - Day 4

What a day! I feel like I say that everyday! For breakfast today we had French toast, bacon (not for me!), granola and yogurt. It was delicious! The boys in my cabin crack me up all the time. There is one little boy who has used hot sauce at every meal since he’s been at camp, more about that later!
I had only the first morning session this morning. I went bike riding with Cabin 8 it was a blast! We conquered a new trail that runs parallel to the lower lake, so much fun! I’m beginning to get sore from so many bike rides! After that session I took some, much needed “me time” and went to the porch. For two hours I showered and napped, and got somewhat ready for my night off. I’ve never cherished a shower more! I felt so clean after getting to take longer than a 6-minute shower and actually shave my legs! Wow! I napped and got some much needed sleep.

Before I knew it, it was time for lunch! On the way to lunch, I saw a boy in my cabin holding his head back with a nosebleed. A lot of the camp staff were freaking out because a lot of the kids at camp are on blood thinners. There was red blood all over his swim trunks, shirt and face. It looked as if it was pouring out of his nose. Turns out he had used some Kool-Aid and saliva and made it look like a nose bleed to play a joke on everyone. Some people thought it was funny, but some people didn’t at all! Personally, it reminded me of something my dad would do, and I thought it was hilarious. Today for lunch, we had burgers (veggie burger for me). It was so good! I had been craving a good ole’ burger. After lunch I blogged and facebooked during cabin rest time. After the rest period, I had paddleboats and the pool. I attempted not to sweat, but that plan fell through.  During cabin choice, I went to hang out with my boys in the gym. They were so into their game of basketball! I quickly ran back to my room to fix my hair, makeup and put on normal clothes before dinner.

At dinner we had fettuccini alfredo with chicken on the side. It was pretty good, but in desperate need of some salt. During dinner, some of the boys dared another boy (who happened to be the “nose bleed kid” from earlier in the day) to drink this really hot sauce. In the process, they took away his food and other drinks. We told them to “cut it out” and stop goofing around, but they are 11-year-old boys and didn’t listen. The next thing we knew the little boy was going to the med-lodge because he felt like his stomach was burning! We had a yummy desert too, pound cake with blueberries on top! After we sang a few songs, I left for my night off!

I drove about an hour to Suwannee to see my best friend, Katie Hoit. It was so good to catch up with her for about 2 hours. I miss her dearly! I am going to see her again next week on my night off as well!
It was such a fun, exciting but hectic day!
