Last week was the best I've ever had at Camp Tecumseh. Our cabin full of ten Warrior girls clicked so well that I couldn't convince them to blend with other cabins during lunch or trading post time. Both my partner Mariah and I had so much fun. Let's just say on Sunday, I laughed more than I did all of our Pathfinder week. We all knew it would be a magical week after that. All of our girls were awkward, silly, and clumsy. This combination made us all closer and bare so much of our hearts that week.
Here are some of my favorite memories in list form, again:
1. Someone spilled their juice, water, or milk during every single meal that week.
2. Doing a Trust Hike after being rained out from another activity and getting to see a huge beaver in the process.
3. Bonding so well with the pair of twins that they came back to visit us three different times on Checkout Day. They couldn't handle the thought of leaving us behind.
4. Getting princess kiddie celebration tablecloth, paper plates, and paper cups for lunch because we love our kids so much.
5. Seeing my friend Rob jam out on his guitar during chapel.
6. Having Olivia, one of the twins, always come up to me to hold hand while we walked from place to place.
7. Seeing these ten girls bond more than I've ever seen in my three years as a counselor. I guarantee they will ALL be counselors when they become old enough.
8. Being ambushed by a whole family of raccoons while on the Mohave porch.
9. Mariah drooling when she got excited during mail time/meals.
10. My kids thinking I went out on the porch at night to talk to myself.
11. My old partner Slick came to visit during Campfire and laughing/cringing during Alligator
One last week....
old partner coming to visit you and laughing/cringing during Alligator didn't make the list huh? :P ;)
