Peacock

Week One is done...over...and out here at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York. The two week campers stayed the weekend while we have been setting up for week 2.  Week 1 went really well, lots of fun, lots of soccer, lots of parents calls, and LOTS of sweating because there is no AC in the dorms and it feels like we are in Alabama...so just imagine Alabama heat in the dorms with no AC (thank goodness for fans)
Here is a list of what happened during week 1
Treated myself to a yummy ice cream cone during the sweltering heat
Star Wars (we dominated...naturally)
Ran up a huge mountain/hill

Made an amazing creation with coffee and swirled ice cream in the dining hall
only had one hospital run
had a girls only venting session/walk with Lisa and Julia :)
Ran thru the moat
Had a slip n' slide

Went swimming in the pool
Drew and I dominated campers in the card game KEMPS
played in multiple scrimmages with the campers
lost in the staff game
ran up and down the stairs and to the library a million times for laundry for the kids
Week 2 at Colgate
more laundry runs
went on a search for s'mores and skewers
went on a search for bananas and bagels, we cleared out the stores supply of bananas
finally got a fan...after the temp dropped 15 degrees
we got a printer...hooray (no one is as excited for that as Bobby and I are)
had a going away lunch for Lisa (ps come back pwease)
played Wizard Staff (kind of)
Made a few airport runs but also got to eat at a place other than the dining hall
Laid out at the top of some hill with an amazing view of the campus (an hour later realizing I was fried)

Had a mock fire drill
more Laundry
I have now become "besties" with millions of parents from this camp
Delivered mail to this one camper EVERY DAY ...she gets at least 8 letters a day (Mom step up your game...I have received 0 and it's been a month and a half)
with that being said if YOU truly love me send me a letter to
Summer Programs Office
SoccerPlus:Kelly Shaffer
13 Oaks Dr
Hamilton NY 13346
we had a bonfire a few nights ago for the over night campers
Oh and Bobby has made up a dance to Peacock by Katy Perry...compliments to Lisa for introducing us to that song...so whenever there's a stressful situation we play this song and we all dance to it


Peace and Blessings
