Lies that I've told campers

-
As I get to the last couple of days of camp and have some time to reflect, the most entertaining to me and probably you is the lies that I've told campers. So this blog post will be about all the lies that I've said and gotten away with and some that campers caught me in the lie for.

My pretty common lies
I have lied about taking time off by calling it paperwork
I have lied about the swim schedule and knowing what's for meals

My wild lies

 The following lie, I have told over three times with varying success.
A lot of groups have requested to go sky diving and so I told them the following. Hey girls so I found this really sketchy site that says it will take you skydiving but it is a bring your own parachute situation. Luckily I found these in the closet! So I need you to get into two teams with one person as the bag-carrier. Then we walk as a group to the flag circle and I have the counselor stand in front of the nurse's window and then she calls me on the walkie and makes up a reason for the skydiving to be cancelled.

Common questions associated with this activity include...
Q: how is this gonna work?
A: a helicopter is going to land into the flag circle then take us up and then we jump
Q: are you serious?
A: Yes

This activity then turns into parachute games except one time the campers made me pinkie promise that if I was lying they could draw on me. In that one occasion I was straight up caught in the lie and so then after I allowed the girl to write I am a liar on my forehead and other things.

The last set of lies were in the forms of bedtime stories so do they really count?

More to come but for now enjoy the lies
I'll see you all soon

I lost the game! and other fun traditions

-
One day last week, or maybe it was the week before, was national wear your camp t-shirt day-of which no one (at school) that I know participated. However there is no need to fret because yours truly-super counselor extraordinaire remembered and wore her staff shirt from last summer. This combined with the Hillel retreat where we sang a lot of the end of session songs and an email encouraging us to apply for summer 2020, reminded me of all the little traditions from camp that I wish took place more in my daily life. For my camp friends reading this I hope it doesn't make you too nostalgic, and for everyone else maybe this a way to bring a little bit of fun to the office or maybe the holidays. The pineapple game When you are out with a group of people the first one to point to the pineapple and say I win. Wins. Yep- that's the whole game. I do highly recommend it for group shopping trips as it brings a sense of adventure to what can be a drab day at the mall. Invisible ...

Less Busy

Yesterday I got up and worked on some papers and then around 11 decided to make up my mind for the day. I had a kind bar and hit the road. I went to the Barbican, Postman's Park, and Postal museum The Barbican is a really unique building because it has plants overall the windows. The Postman's Park is much smaller than many parks that I have been to but that there are some titles that describe heroic events live saving children from a fire. Finally the Postal museum was incredible. I didn't think that I would enjoy it nearly as much as I did. Also at the museum, you can ride the mail rail, which is the old mail cart which would run under the city. Overall I had a great time and I was able to walk most of these so I saw many new parts of the city. Today I leave for Derby today to visit a camp friend. Don't expect any more posts until Sunday Morning. Have a Great Weekend!

Meal Prep and a Movie

-
This will be brief because I am going to watch a movie with some friends. Today I got up and read in bed for a bit. I then got up and worked out before going foodshopping. I got stuff for the week and also to make Nutella brownies with. They were pretty good, a little gooey but that didn't stop anyone. I then proofread a paper and did more research for AA overall it was a really chill day.
