England Day 54: Bring it on King's Camp! BLITZ OFF!!!

Thursday, aka BLITZ OFF DAY!!! The kids were so excited and couldn't wait for the blitz off later that day. We did a lot of practicing in the morning which went really well. The kids did an awesome job and were so loud! We know that they will do an awesome job at the blitz off.

After the amazing practice, we went to our club. I ran cooking club again since Alix was on a field trip. We made something called Safari Sunrise. We made toasted tortilla shells with cinnamon and sugar and then put them in the oven for a bit. When they were all crispy, we took them out and put a scoop of ice cream on top. They were amazing. I love them! :) Glad I got to run cooking club this week.

When clubs were over, we went to lunch and then break. I looked up a few things for programming for next week and read a book for a while before heading back. I got to hang out in room 3 for a while and played a couple fun games with the kids before heading to the gym for BLITZ OFF!!!! We walked in and had a seat on our side of the curtain and started chanting CAMP A! When the curtain was pulled, both camps stood on either side of the gym chanting each camp's name. Then we started singing songs back and forth andthe kids were loud and did all the movements so well. I was so proud of them. The King's Camp did an amazing job as well and were just as loud, but I think our kids were much more involved.

After the singing, we pulled some of our kids while Carlie recognized the King's Camp counselors. The kids came with me and Brittany and grabbed plates of whipped cream and stood in front of the King's Camp counselors. We told them it was a tradition for Camp A that we got pied every Friday so we wanted to welcome them in. They were so understanding and did it for the kids, although they complained the rest of the day because they had to be sticky and smelled of rotten milk. I did feel bad because it smelled gross. lol. But it was all in good fun and they could laugh about it later. When the creaming was over, we had a dance party and did a lot of fun dances with each camp.

After all the fun, we went back to our camps and finished off the rest of the day. I was in open rec of the rest of the day so I hung out in there and played a few games with kids. We then were taken home at the end of the day and had a short meeting. We then made our posters for next week and had some heart to hearts in the hallway. It was a nice night. :)

When the posters were completed, we watched Pocahontas and then headed off to bed. It was definitely a fun and crazy day and one of the most memorable.

Cheerio.
