Tuesday April Fools

This is not an April Fools joke, the weather started with clear skies and cooler temperatures then yesterday morning. But the joke was on us by the afternoon thundershowers returned, "April Fools".

Breakfast had the first "April Fools" joke when Sunshine cabin had everyone sing Happy Birthday to a camper. The joke was on us, "April Fools", it wasn't his birthday. Aspen cabin created some great sing alongs for "April Fools". Try this one:

Way down in Ireland, where nobody knows,
It's tricky Aspen leprechauns,
Watch where they go,
Cause they'll trick you all day,
That's the leprechaun way.

Morning activity time was filled with fishing, zip line, arts & crafts, music & drama, hiking, swimming, and sports.

Ben and Courtney announced at lunch that following today's rest period there would be a $1 pillow tax levied. Who doesn't love their pillow? "April Fools", brought a sigh of relief amongst the campers and counselors.

Thundershowers with a touch hail drove many activities indoors in the afternoon. Music and Drama moved part of Rainbow Cabin's silent movie production indoors and between thunderstorms were able to shoot a couple scenes outdoors. Frontier Cabin was rained out at the fishing pond, but enjoyed the "The Little Mermaid" in the activity room. Campers from Alpine Cabin and Ponderosa Cabin joined together to make bracelets.











At dinner the "Magical Theme Selector" chose "Make Your Own Holiday" as the theme for tomorrow.

The evening all camp activity was the "Drum Circle" lead by the group "Rhythm Vision". "Rhythm Vision" provided drums and other percussion instruments and lead the campers in repeat/response drum beats. It was amazing to see everyone participate and maintain the lead rhythms for over an hour. The enthusiasm included dancing, drumming, jumping, and playing a variety of percussion instruments. The perfect evening ended at the campfire making s'mores.
