Shaylie and I are back from camp! We had such a good time! We got there on Wednesday afternoon and immediately jumped into the Arts and Crafts projects. We met our Cabin Mates and hiked in the rain. We bunked with four other Mom/Daughter pairs. They were all very nice and Shaylie made fast friends with all of them.
It rained most of the time we were there. It was actually kind of nice...and on Thursday the thunder and lightning went away long enough for us to go out on the lake. We canoed in the rain and got pretty wet. In the afternoon, the sun came out and it got pretty hot.
Shaylie decided she would jump in the lake...in her jeans and t-shirt...to cool off. It was a good thing she was already wet, because she and her friend, Sammi, got in a little canoe and Sammi decided to stand up. The whole thing top-sized and dumped them in the lake. It was pretty funny!
<The last night, Shaylie got to participate in the All-Camp activity: the Miss Cloud Rim Pageant Workshop. They made tiaras, and evening gowns (0ut of trash bags), practiced interview skills and learned a dance for their talent. Then Shaylie led the whole group in the runway fashion show at the end of the evening. When the counselors started to sing a good-bye song, Shaylie started to cry. She said, "Why do they have to sing a sad song at the end? It just makes me sad to leave camp." She is such a sweetie. She really didn't want to go home. We had a great time!
Taylor was busy while we were gone too. She got a new Sixth Grade Do! It's mostly brown now, with some red and blonde highlights. I think it is adorable. She is going to be the most gorgeous girl in the school!
