Gahhh! I know I said I would post yesterday, but people kept taking me away from my computer (Such as when I was pulled away this morning to go to the movies, in the middle of writing this post)!...And my headache did not help much either. Sorry!
...
Okay, time to write and sum up camp! Well when I got to camp I saw people I knew from years before and my cabin mates were two people I had before, one person I am friends with, and three people I did not know at all. And our 'cabin leaders' (My brain cannot remember how to spell the word pronounced 'count-su-laur'), who were pretty awesome.
There was this one person with the same first name as me, so every one called them by a nickname of theirs, though, when people shortened my name to that, it got confusing.
...
The highlights of my week included: A nature walk including four others, and being in a very relaxing spot. Having a nice conversation with a ten year old, and then playing ping-pong with them in a quiet-ish room while everyone else was at a camp wide (Well, the part of camp I was at wide) event. And finishing this book series, Daughters of the Moon (good books, though I do not have one, three, twelve, thirteen, or the brother series), during 'cabin time', or, in other words, nap time.
...Wow, my memory is horrible. (I only remember this and a select few activities, along with random inside joke from my cabin and continuous conversations.)
...
At camp there was this thing, it was a pen with about ten or twelve sides (I did not count), called the 'Gaga Pit'. In it you play 'Gaga Ball'. (I honestly had no idea of anything call Gaga Ball until last week.)
Those who want to play get in the pit, after getting in the pit you take a ball and throw it in the air and say 'Ga' after the first two bounces, and you may not touch the ball until after the second bounce.
After it bounces twice someone may hit it (But not with a fist, that it against the rules) and if it hits you below the knee you are out, if it does not hit below the knee you are still in. And if the ball falls out of the pit then whomever it touched last (Whether it hit you or you hit it) is out, and then someone throws it back in a you say 'Ga-Ga' again in the first two bounces.
You are also out if you hit the ball twice in a row without it touching someone else- or the wall, first, unless there is only two people left, then you may hit it however many times you want. And if you are out you must step out of the pit- almost forgot that.
I think that is it, though there may be some slight variations to the game depending on who you play it with, the Elementary camp that was going on the same week as us said 'Ga-Ga-Ball' for the first three bounces instead of just 'Ga-Ga' (which does not make much sense, it is Gaga Ball, the Gaga Pit, not the Gaga Ball Pit, just saying).
...
I guess since this is getting a bit long, and I honestly want to finish reading 'Cheaper by the Dozen' (good, good book.), I think I will end here.
Enjoy your afternoon naps!
