Update

Important things that have happened recently:

Last Tuesday: Went to "Skinner's Falls" which is somewhere just across the state border into New York state, on the next river past the Delaware (which is the state line for that stretch). Spent the day going down them on inner tubes from truck tyres and doing circus tricks in the shallows with the 'Carnies'. They work on the circus program, have small feet and hands and smell slightly of cabbage. Boom boom. Anyway, at one point there was a guy with one girl on his shoulders and another girl with her feet on his thighs leaning out the other way, and he was sitting on my (pink) shoulders. Ouch.

Thursday night: The Rangers won lower camp sing, beating 5 other divisions. We ruled. It was like House Shout but with 3 practices a day for 10 days, 3 songs each and rewritten words for each song.

Yesterday: Got my first Ga-Ga injury. Ga-Ga is an awesome game which, in its Westmont house-rules adaption, is played in an octagonal wooden court about 4 metres across, using a volleyball which is hit at peoples legs to elimnate them. Knee and below is out, skimming your knuckles on the astro-turf floor covering is painful.

Today: Went to Dorney Park, which is somewhat like Thorpe Park but with a much better set of waterslides. Very fun. Went on one Nemesis-style one with a beetle on my shirt and was amazed that it hung on all the way. It did, however, poop itself in terror.

Tonight I will be taking my lovely, angelic bunk on a camp-out.

Also, I am officially the most special counselor on the camp, because I have 3 specialties, 2 more than anyone else, and I also spend so much time playing Ga-Ga in evening "Free Play" that I'm the honorary specialist for that too. I rule. You knew that bit already.
