A Hot Hot Week!

If you didn't know.... it was 105 degrees on Monday with a heat index of 115! It was just plain HOT. On Tuesday we were actually told not to play outside (not even in the shade) because of the heat. Luckily, we got the rain we needed so badly on Wednesday, so things cooled down a bit. Unfortunately, we didn't get to campout that night because of the rain. Some of the girls were kind of disappointed, but we had a fun time in the cabin that evening playing card games and such. A group of about five or six of the girls even staged a "fake wedding". My stuffed dog Arf was the stand in groom for Justin Beiber. He was a bit upset to be compared to Beiber, but he got over it. Carissa was the minister and I got to be Camera-woman and Co-Maid of Honor. It was by far the least expensive and quick weddings I have ever been a part of. ;)
Anyway, we had a really fun week. I don't think I mentioned, but we only had 19 girls total this week, so we split up into two cabins and we had co-counselors instead of just one counselor per group. It was so nice having Carissa as my co-counselor. Even though our girls were not too much of a handful, it definitely took away some of the stress of having a cabin of 10 girls!
 Next week is HONOR CAMP and officially our last week of having campers. We found out today during Staff Meeting that we are exploring Little Rock and it's surrounding area. It will include going to places like Magic Springs and the Arkansas Alligator Farm (although the website is not so cool, it is supposed to be very cool). We will also get to do a scavenger hunt downtown and go to the Mystic Caverns. For these kids from so many backgrounds and economic levels, this experience is going to be great. I feel so blessed to be a part of it!
   If I am not too exhausted I will try to update y'all about it whenever I can!
