Sunday....not just another day!

Hi Families,
What a fantastic day we had today. We all got to sleep a little later than usual,believe me, we all needed it after the first week of non-stop action. After wake-up at 8:00 the campers enjoyed a picnic breakfast of bagels, cream cheese, granola bars, bananas and milk. It was such a beautiful morning. After breakfast we have the big Sunday morning clean up. Everyone takes their trunks outside and reorganizes all of their stuff...yes, your child actually did that! They also changed their sheets and helped to get the cabin clean. You would be amazed at the team effort that goes into getting that done. You would be proud. I know we are! After breakfast we have an extended morning thought. It was Roger's turn this week (we rotate the administation.) His was based on the Dr. Suess book about the Lorax. For those of you not familiar with that, it is basically about the environment and what happens if you don't take care of it. We are trying to make the campers more aware of taking care of "Mother Earth." We then did an all camp clean up followed by the ever popular general swim. A favorite lunch of chicken tenders was enjoyed by all. By that time everyone was ready for a siesta! The afternoon was sooooooo much fun. We had a Carnival with 2 bounce houses( one looked like a monster truck), a huge blow up slip and slide and a big waterslide. We also had apple bobbing, face painting, weight guessing, basketball toss and more. The kids had a blast and so did the staff. We followed Carnival with another general swim (a great way to get some dirt off) before heading to cabins to shower for dinner. Of course, Sunday night is everyones favorite PIZZA! You would think they had not had pizza for a year. It really is fun to watch them go crazy for it. We ended the evening with a movie, Enchanted, then store. It is raining lightly and I am listening to the sounds of laughter, conversation and children being children. I cannot explain how much pleasure we all get from that. Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your children. We really do have the best job in the world. Your kids are being kids and we love it! Have a fantastic week,
Diana and the whole Circle F Gang
