Well today began with a great devo and a bowl of oatmeal. Melina and I headed off with our group to go fishing. We took a "hayride" down to the lake, which Melina loved--the "tractor" as she referred to it. We weren't too excited about specifically catching a fish, but rather enjoyed letting out the line and reeling it back in towards us.
We had to be careful that we didn't give someone an unwanted piercing. A couple of the campers kissed the fish that they caught--they are braver than I am! That was the end of our participating in group activities. We preferred to do our own thing--putting together puzzles and watching Dora. At lunch, Melina and I we
re sitting and watching more Dora and Elmo when another camper came up and stole all of Melina's cold cuts and stuffed them in his mouth. Unfazed, Melina continued on watching
her TV show and ate another roll. After lunch, we headed downstairs and blew bubbles for a while. Melina liked to say that the bubbles were dancing. We danced along with them. And then we went to the elevator to ride up and down over and over again. We went from the Mezzanine to the second floor to the first, repeating the sequence from 12:30 until 3 with brief intermissions to dance with the bubbles.
Tonight, we had the annual camp dance--a camp favorite for sure! We discovered that Sam's camper, Peter, was quite the dancer. Larsen, Mollie's camper, is certainly camp's dancing queen!
Daniel and Gianna, at age 9, were the cutest couple--a relationship which began last year at camp. Both blind, they danced in their own world amongst the crowd, joyful and smiling. After two hours, we all were ready to head to bed, exhausted from a wonderful night of dancing!
Tomorrow we go swimming--Melina's favorite!
