Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah

This week was spent at girl scout camp. Here are some of the lessons I learned throughout the week:

• If, for planning purposes, you’d like to know when the hottest days of the summer in 2011 will be, just check with me to see when we are going to camp.
• It takes a couple of showers to remove the scent created by sunscreen and Off.
• A frozen wash cloth placed on your neck around noon feels mighty good.
• When using the latrine, be sure to bring along a bandana (to cover your nose) and air freshener. Put on the bandana, spray, run in and do your business and run out as fast as you can.
• No, that’s not a big spider on the door, that’s a tick.
• It will be several weeks before I stop humming the lyrics to “The Burrito” song…Hey Burrito! Hey, Hey, Hey Burrito!
• The girls in my troop don’t like worms. They are, however, masters at catching seaweed and turtles.
• Panties on a flag pole are funny to a variety of ages for a myriad of reasons.
• A bucket of water, some sponges and a really hot day equal a good hour of fun.
• Decorating flip flops with balloons is cute, but a lot harder than you would think.
