Camp is always fun–especially when you have a cabin as good as mine!  I had Mercy, Shaina, and Sarah D.  Luckily, we have been going to camp for years, so all of us knew what we were doing.

One night, on July 4th, everyone thought we were going to play M.I.  My cabin was in bed for an hour waiting for M.I. music.  At 11:15 we got the picture that we weren’t playing.  The next night, we did play!

Our cabin got 3 clues out of 3 when everyone else got 6 out of 6, so ours were messed up somehow.  We came in third place anyways.  We got spotted 4 times, picked up another tribe’s clue, put it somewhere else, then realized that we accidentally did that and put it back.  When we went to the van for the third time, we hid under the van.  Sneakers was spotting and spotted us.  She yelled, “You’ve been spotted!” so we got out.

Something else that has happened is that there are 4 Sarahs this year, including me.  There was one in the other cabin and two in mine. 

My activities were really fun this year.  In craft one day, Anna, Pixie, and I were talking about how Anna would make a good model.  RedSox happened to be walking by when I said Anna had blonde hair, blue eyes and was tan, tall, and thin.  RedSox (only hearing the last part about hair, eyes, etc.) asked quite innocently, “Are you guys talking about boys?”  We were laughing so hard!

One day, during dinner, Sarah said when you laugh really hard you burn calories.  During skit night, one of the judges, Posh Penelope (AKA Sneakers), said that our skit was funny and that she was laughing.  Then Shaina had to say her, “Did you know that laughing helps you lose weight?” fact.  And so Sweet Susie (AKA Twister) said, “Are you saying that she’s fat?”  So, instead of a 9, Sneakers gave us an 8.8.

I had a great time this year!
