these kids are fab!!!!
so today they got organized in their cabins after their parents and siblings and such left. (only 18 kids. the adults here definitely outnumber them, and i havent decided if thats a good thing or a bad thing yet...we'll see when oo-u-la comes and it the other way around) already we could tell there was a difference in the way the kids acted without their parents looming over them or their skinny brothers and sisters showing them up in everything they try. i feel like thats what life is like for them, so its nice to have all that gone and to just be with kids that are just like them now.
so while the kids were getting settled, we took some newbies and the waterfront crew up on the tech course. its a group roes course about 40 ft in the air (i don't actually know how high it is, but that was a nice even number :)) i stayed on the ground with michael in case anyone freaked out, which quite a few of them did. can't wait to see kids up there! (although it won't happen this week, because most of these kids arent' old enough. you have to be 13, and this vita ranges from 3rd-8th grade) it was a lot of fun though and just more good experience which is what these first weeks are all about!
after lunch we had free swim, then we met our cabin buddies (BLUE LAGOON=older girls) went to dinner, and then went to the field to play some group games. afterward we hit up the amphitheater for opening ceremonies where we rocked it with our epic stomp. i'll have to post a video sometime!!!
it was a good day. tomorrow will be great. but as for now, its 10:00 which equals bed time and i still need to shower, so peace out homes!
more to come
