Nearly Perfect

It was a nearly perfect day today. The weather has been GORGEOUS- sunny, warm, not too hot, no humidity- just perfect.

Today was military day and so we had a group of National Guard soldiers out to camp to lead activities. Kids got to eat MREs (meals ready to eat), learn to fold the flag, learn to march, did some exercise drills, try on the gear and get their faces painted. Cabins rotated every 30 minutes.

The kids and the staff were happy and smiling, engaged and well behaved. Actually, several times throughout the day, I felt like I was in a movie. The kids and the staff kept saying things like, "I'm having so much fun" or "this is great!". Whenever I watch movies about camp and they are cheesy and over the top, I roll my eyes. But that was how it was yesterday. I was a little afraid I would wake up and realize it has all been a dream and that I actually work in a boring office somewhere.

After the soldiers left, kids had rest time, and then swam and played field games. Everyone was tired and happy.

Just another typical day of work....
