Although the sky doesn't look it yet - we had a major downpour first thing in the morning (just in time for breakfast actually) - but that was the last of the rain - the clouds left and we had beautiful weather.
Beautiful sunrise (we were up at the crack of dawn, making pancakes for the campers)
One happy camper! Anna was thrilled to sleep on the top bunk of course..
Anna with her cabin pack enjoyed some action songs
Even though Anna has her bathing suit on, I don't think she actually went swimming! She was too busy catching frogs and other critters at the beach.
As cooks we survived our second day - we cooked for 125 campers and counsellors - and became pretty comfortable in the kitchen.
We also decided to play a bit of a prank on the kids. You see, at every mealtime, the cooks are called out to be thanked by the campers with some sort of tune (I believe it was different every time!). We are asked to stand up at the front, turn around and face the wall while all the campers and counsellors quietly gather around us and decide on which thank you song/rhyme to say. The the campers yell "cooks!!!!!" in order for us to turn around and accept our thanks from them.
Well, today we decided to dress up in crazy costumes and pretend to be "visitors" (the cooks had mysteriously disappeared!). The added extra surprise was that we hid water guns in our pockets, so after we turned around, we sprayed the campers and counsellors and chased them around the room. It was a blast...we did scare a few of the kids, and I hope they've recovered - but the rest who enjoyed the prank will have a lasting memory!
