We've had gorgeous, hot, sunny weather all week- until last night. The talent show is the last activity of the night, and just as we were heading down to the fire circle/stage, it started pouring. The rain only lasted about 15 minutes and then it went back to beautiful weather, but the power went out a few minutes into the storm and when the rain ended, the power didn't quite get the message.
We decided to hold the talent show anyway and managed to find all of the songs the kids needed for their acts on our phones. The music was a little quieter without speakers, but we managed. The kids loved the show- they laughed at all the skits and sang along with the songs. The counselors sang a song together and put their arms around each other and rocked while they sang.
There have been so many moments this week that I have just been overcome with happiness and wanted to burst into tears of joy. The counselors this year are the best I have worked with. The kids are enthusiastic. The weather has been perfect. I feel healthy and strong and energetic. Life is amazing.
The parents arrived yesterday and were friendly and complimentary and said wonderful, kind things. Everyone was seated at the fire circle/stage and ready for the closing program. Except that the sky was getting darker and darker and I was worried that it would start raining while we were sitting there. In my experience, parents do not find fleeing from the rain very charming. So at the last minute, I moved everyone into the chapel where we had a slightly altered closing program. It started POURING midway through the ceremony, so I was happy we moved.
A little bit of rain, but still, a great week!
