Laundry Day: Summer Camp Part 4

Greetings, readers!

It seems that I won't see my friend Julie till tomorrow, so I'm finally back with more summer camp adventures. Sorry for the delay. Today's post will be about a very fun activity at camp--washing our clothes in the stream!

One morning, we loaded our clothes into the wagon and set off for the little freshwater creek that runs past the camp. Unfortunately, it turned out to be heavier than we thought. Addy decided she would rather sit on top of the clothes than push.






I explained to her that it would be much easier if we worked together.



We all grabbed hands and marched toward the stream. Hooray for teamwork!



When we reached the water, we kicked off our shoes, waded in, and sat down to begin scrubbing our clothes. Soon, we were surrounded by skirts and dresses.



Then, we heaped the wagon with the sopping wet clothes.



The counselors had set up a clothesline for each group of camp sisters. Kirsten, Addy, and I quickly began hanging up our shirts and sweaters.











Here's a great shot of the finished product. I think we did a fine job!



Please comment and tell me what you think of the lovely laundry pictures!

There will be approximately four more camp posts and one post with pictures of my upcoming visit with Julie!

Lots of love,
Kit

A Boring Post

Yes, this is going to be a boring post because my dad's computer, which has all the photos from summer camp, is not turned on, and I don't feel like turning it on because by the time I do, it will be dinner time.

Soooo, I'm just going to say this: my friend Julie, who I have never met in person, is coming to Reisbrook for a visit! She's from Stormville. She's not on my "Friends" page because I have no photo of her. She'll be here (meaning Reisbrook) and there (meaning the "Friends" page) soon!

That's about it! I'll resume with more camp pictures as soon as I can.

See ya!

Playing at the Park: Summer Camp Part 3

Hi! Before I show you some more photos, I want to tell you that I added some pages to my blog. On the "More About Me" one, you can learn just that: more about me. On "Meet My Friends," I put up a picture and a short paragraph for all of my buddies. Please check them out and tell me what you think!

Now, back to the subject of summer camp.

One day, we walked to a park to play on the equipment.















We finally got too tired to play anymore and sat on a bench to talk.



I think that was the best park I've ever been to. Stay tuned for more adventures!

Wagons and Drawings: Summer Camp Part 2

Hello, again, I'm here with more summer camp fun!

We took a lot of hikes throughout the week. On this one, we took turns pulling each other in the wagon.





I was holding a bouquet of flowers I picked! The counselor showed me which plants would dry nicely and wouldn't turn brown. One was really soft and green and called "Our Lady's Bedstraw." Isn't that a weird name? There's also some lavender, which made the bouquet smell good.



At the end of this hike, we were told to pick something we'd seen to draw when we went to the craft house. Addy, Kirsten, and I spent some time discussing what to pick.



Inside the craft house, we grabbed some paper and colored pencils and got to work.



I drew a pink flower...



...Addy sketched a tree...



...and Kirsten made a very realistic picture of a Monarch butterfly.



Ta-da! All of the campers put their drawings on the wall.



More to come!

XOXO,
Kit
