This morning we had a little bit of a sleep in day in order to regain our energy from the Kalahari trip. After eating breakfast we had morning rotations. We had a riding rotation in the indoor arena where the girls had a worked on their riding position and other things like trotting. There was a horse science rotation that was about horse feeds and feeding, which was all about a horse's nutritional requirements and what we typically feed our horses at Hoofbeat. We also had an arts and crafts rotation and made some lanyard.
In the afternoon the girls enjoyed mounted games in the indoor, which are various games played on horse-back. We also has a horse science rotation where they were able to decide with their group which activity they would like to do. We then went down to lower camp to make New Year's Eve party decorations to decorate lower longbranch! We also played some board games in lower longbranch to warm up.
The New Year's Eve party started after dinner. The theme for the party was Toy Story. We all returned to our cabins to dress like some of the characters. We had barbies, cowgirls, penguins, aliens, and even Bo Peep with her sheep! Everyone looked fantastic. We opened up our camp store, Trading Post, and the girls were able to visit and buy things. We then went to the lodge for some group games, including an entire camp game of "electricity." We then returned to lower longbranch and had a short dance party, and played a little bit of freeze dance. After dancing for a little bit we had a pizza and soda break. We then returned to the lodge for a slide show which included all of the pictures from our time spent here, the girls even sang camp songs to go with the slide show. After the slide show it was "after midnight" and it was time for bed. What a wonderful day!
What a foggy day, this picture was taken in front of the barn. Where did the rest of camp go?
