When we went to bed last night it was pouring rain and when we woke up the morning it was still raining, so I was unable to run but on the upside I got another hour of sleep! The girls were up though but they all stayed in bed! Once Reveille went off we all got ready for breakfast….French Toast! We then had cabin clean up and then announcements, we had to switch to a rainy day schedule since all of our activities included being outside. We went to gymnastics and tennis (indoors) and then we had bunk time, we also [View Full Entry]

At the meeting yesterday we made sure to mention that they were not to get out of bed until the Revielle at 7:15 or if they have to go to the bathroom or are sick. When I got up for my run this morning at 6:20 I had about 4 pairs of eyes watch me leave and ask me where I was going! Then when I got back at 7:10 every girl had their flashlight on and were reading or writing letters home, but they all knew that they had to stay in their bed!

Had some meetings this morning with junior camp counselors, we went over routines and procedures. Then at lunch we had some yummy homemade pizza. At 2:40 we were scheduled to hike up Piermont Mountain. It was the STEEPEST hike! 3 miles round-trip, we also had to cross through a couple of streams where I missed the rock both times and was stuck in the water because I sunk half way up my leg! I took a TON of pictures, including of my muddy self. Making it to the top was amazing! Beautiful view, I cannot wait to show all the pictures!!! [View Full Entry]

Day 2 June 21, 2009 This morning I woke up cold, New Hampshire has some cold nights so now I know that even after a night of dancing I need to dress warm for bed.

The morning started out with breakfast of an array of foods, I chose Cheerios and peanut butter toast. We were assigned to different [View Full Entry]
