the long weekend...

There's just so much that can be said about this past weekend at camp - I don't know where to begin.

Friday started out with a lot of caffeine, a little ZOEgirl and one sweaty trip across the ocean to Duke Point, Nanaimo. I can't even begin to explain to you how excited I was to jump on a ferry with 15 of my CITs. I was practically jumping up and down all day just waiting to meet them all. So I get to the ferry, and what's happened? I was so excited that I was sweating like a man. No wait, I was sweating like a beast. Once on the ferry I definitely ventured to both ends of the boat in search of a cold gust of wind that would dry out my pits. Cold wind = cold pits and that's just not fun. When we reached camp, after the long ferry ride & the bus ride full of children yelling the words to "99 Bottles of Beer", Andrew and I, and the 18 CITs made our way to the Staff Lounge where we chilled and played a few games. While the Chicken game and Move Your Butt were both fun (who knew phil & liam were so violent!) the highlights of the night occurred while playing the crowd favourite, Extreme Duck Duck Goose. Let me tell you, this round of EDDG was no chess match, it was as violent as they come. Maybe I didnt succeed at taking Andrew down that time (he threw me over his shoulder, what could I do?) but I certainly gave Cam a run for his money. Watching Cam leap through the air to try and tackle people is one of the funniest things I have ever seen - If you've never seen it, you're missing out! After the games finished up we all made our way out to the "designer" cabins in Huckleberry Hideout to sleep for the night.

Saturday morning began far too early, but I must admit that I was pretty excited to get up and spend a day with these CITs. At 6am, Britt N & Steve reported for Kitchen duty, and at 7am the first shift reported to the dish pit (Liam, Phil, Holly, Kim, Brooke, Melissa, Nina, Lindsay). You wouldn't think that scrubbing dishes at 7am would be thrilling, but even I didn't know what this shift had in store!

Stay tuned... I'll finish writing later
