Scout Camp Day One

I quit!

Nine boys ages 8-9 and I'm the only leader.
I think it was 90 degree weather.
I had never done this before so I had no idea what I was doing.
My job was to keep these boys:
-where they were supposed to be
-following the rules
-toileted
-hydrated
and
-happy

Mission accomplished. And I was able to keep my smile on my face the whole day. I didn't realize how tired I was until we were driving home. Jake spilled the contents of his water bottle on me while I was driving and I broke down into tears.

Enough about me.

Our group is the Monkeys and this is our cheer:

"We like to climb trees

Ooh Ooh Aah Aah

We are the Mon-Keys

Ooh Ooh Aah Aah

GGGOOOOO Monkeys

(monkey noises)"

We made dough beads, learned about first aide, rode on a horse and wagon, made a wood craft, and did archery. AND I didn't kill any children :)

Tomorrow will be better... I know what to expect (fingers crossed) I hope.
