days of great trial

So, Tuesday was a looooooooong day. We had Pillow Polo as our afternoon OA, which was great because it was incredibly hot outside. As is par for the course, the children had no idea what the game was or how it was to be played. Given this fact, they still had a number of really ridiculous questions. As you can see in the picture of my cousin above, we gave the kids mallets to use in the game. I completed the instructions, and even answered 6 questions. A small child in cabin 4 posed the sixth question. He raised his hand, pointed to the mallets, and asked, "So, are we supposed to use these to hit the ball?" I just had to smile and nod in order to avoid thinking about how obvious that question was. I mean, seriously? We had to end our OA early to do song practice for Council Ring. Let's just say that I wasn't extremely pleased with that whole event, but whatever. I worked free swim, which was freakin 75 minutes long. Insane. But, I got a pretty good Chaco tan, which I will continue working on today. Last night was Council Ring, which was incredibly short. But the fire was hot, which made me angry, as usual. After Council Ring, we just came back down and hung out in front of the Lake Lodge for a while. I watched some hilarious videos in the Hogan office, including one of a Chippewa at girls camp playing "Little Sally Walker" with a hot dog, until she dropped it. I also got to see lots of people fall in the lake on video. Love it. Watching people fall is one of my favorite things, and when it happens into a body of water, that is even more awesome. Then I had to watch my hill during a staff social time. Bleh. I listened to music, especially songs from Sister Act 2. No big deal. Only a few days left.
