It's a Wonderful Hoofbeat!

It's finally cooled down and the girls are having a blast! On Wednesday, we decided to get out of the hot sun and head on our mystery trip to the Kalahari water park in the Dells!! The girls were so excited to get to swim the whole afternoon, and go down some awesome water slides! Master Blaster and Victoria Falls were some of the favorites among the kids, but the lazy river was where we would all chill out and float along!

The outside water park was open, too, so the girls lathered on some sunscreen and headed outside for a bit, too! After a brilliant dinner of pizza (yummy!) some girls went back in the pools, while others hit the gift shop for some sweets and souvenirs! When it was finally time to head home, everyone was smiling and talking about what a great day they had! That is, until they fell asleep from all the fun they had!

Today, the weather was finally on our side, with it cooling down a lot, and the girls were very happy about it! We had a wonderful afternoon of Cabin bonding! The girls took part in 3 different activites! We had Cabin Bareback riding, where the girls got to feel what it's like to ride without a saddle! We also had cabin time, to allow the girls a bit more time getting to know eachother as a cabin group, and we had Cabin vs Cabin kickball! The girls were really excited and showed great team spirit - even came up with cheers and chants!

After dinner, we played an old camp favorite - the Camper Counselor Hunt!! All the counselors hid over lower camp; they were under bunkbeds, behing walls, even under the porch! The aim of the game was for campers to find as many counselors as they could, and they got a mark for each counselor they found! The girls did really well, some even finding all 12 counselors!! We followed up with a few camp games like Numbers & Ships and Sailors, but the girls had a GREAT time taking part in a camp-scale game of Toxic River! In this game, the girls were divided into two groups of around 30, and had to transport all of their team members from one side of the athletic field to the other by using only the selection of random items they chose! And to make it even more fun, they couldn't touch the grass! We are all having such a great time here, I don't think anyone wants to go home!!
