Weekend Trips and a New Camp Session

A lot has gone on in the past 48 hours, and I am way to tired than I should be to write about it, but I must force myself to write it out before I forget.

On Saturday after lunch we left to go camping at Lassen Volcanic National Park. Unfortunately, when we got there they were all out of camp sites. But we still got to walk around a little and see the park. It's BEAUtiful, by the way!

So we headed back towards camp and found a campsite on Lake Almanor. We set up a few tents and built a fire, typical camping stuff. We roasted hotdogs with onions over the fire in foil packs and scarfed down a ton of Oreos and peanut butter. We walked around the lake some and got to see the moon, which was SUPER big that night. The rest of the night we hung out around the campfire and talked mostly.

Then, when we got back it was back to the camp scene. This week is another session of Camp ReCreation and a whole new set of campers and counselors are ready for another good week.

Today I was able to attend their Mass. It was kinda fun and interesting to get to see how they do their services here. Lots of singing and maraca shaking. Some of the campers also got to act out the bible story being told, so that was fun.

Today we ended with a Hollywood trivia game show. The campers were asked a ton of questions about Disney and for the most part, were pretty good. There was a lot of fun and cheering.

This week I have a morning kitchen shift, so I get to cook breakfast and lunch, which has been wonderful. I love cooking, and this shift has the most cooking, so I'm excited. It makes it worth getting up before 6 am.

Add up everything I've done this past 24 hours, and I'm exhausted. But it's been totally worth it.
