We started off the morning with devos again. Then Melina and I headed to the pool--she is a fish in water! We swam for a short period, but then Melina decided it was time for us to be done. She handed me my shirt and shorts to put on, and meanwhile stripped out of her swimsuit. 
We sat in the sun and rested until the rest of the group was ready to head to Bible. We almost made it into the classroom! Standing in the doorway, Melina decided she would rather watch Elmo, so thats exactly what we did. We sat on the couch outside and watched Elmo for the next hour. 
Lunch consisted of hoagie bread and cheddar cheese with Diet Dr. Pepper for Melina and a salad and pasta for me. This was the end of our group activities. Melina and I rode the elevator again today, getting off each time we got to the first floor so that we could blow some bubbles in the Jr. High room. This continued until the bird lady came to talk. Melina was more interested in wandering than sitting and learning about birds, however. 
So we wandered around the room--at one point opening the cage for the great horned owl--one of the more frightening experiences of the day. 
Dinner tonight was split--the campers and STMs eat frozen pizzas and fruit cups while the parents enjoy chicken wellington and chocolate mousse. After eating, we went outside to get messy! 
It was a shaving cream frenzy---cans of Barbasol lined the walkways and white blobs ran around rubbing shaving cream into one another's hair. Melina loved it! My hair still feels like straw. Tonight we had the ladies' spa. The moms (and dads if they wish!) come and receive back massages and pedicures. This is one of my favorite activities at camp--the moms finally get a chance to relax and be pampered--a rarity for many of them! Sometimes the STMs get a bit of pampering, too, at the end.
A wonderful end to an exciting day!
Tomorrow is the talent show--a tear-jerking, wonderful evening. I can't wait!
