Today was GS camp day. This year we were at Camp Cedarledge for camp. It's an absolutely BEAUTIFUL camp. But, it is very large. It takes a long time to walk anywhere. We definitely got our exercise in today, especially when we walked to the lake. It took 15 minutes just to walk from our lodge to the parking lot. It was worth the walking though because, as I said, it's just beautiful there.
The girls got to do archery this year. That was a lot of fun. It's been forever since I shot an arrow. Michaela did pretty good. Actually, all the girls did really well at it. I was impressed.
They did crafts, went canoeing and went swimming. By the time we got to the pool we were all very hot from walking from the lake. I was so ready to get in the pool. However, the water was REALLY COLD. Not refreshing cold, but COLD. But, I did get cooled off. At one point I had to jump in completely, because a bee was attacking me. It sounded like a jumbo jet in my ear.
The meals were really good this year, too. The planning committee did a great job with everything. I really like the day time activities. I just do not enjoy sleeping there at all. So, Michaela and I left after the bonfire tonight.
As we were getting in the van Michaela said she had to go to the rest room. Well, the closest one was right before we got on the highway. While we were there, Michaela discovered she had started her first period. That explains why she was such a huge grouch last night and earlier in the day. It was actually a pretty anti-climatic moment for us. But, my little girl is no longer a little girl.
I am really glad we decided to come home. It would have been really embarrassing for her if we'd have had to ask around all over the place for a pad. Plus, it meant less time spent around the people I am not comfortable around.
One of the people who I was working at not being angry at again, said something very mean to Michaela tonight. Michaela really has no idea how I feel about this person or why. I've not told her because I want her to not have negative feelings towards this person. But, I am about done with this person. I am just really upset that this person thought she had a right to alienate my daughter, again. I just have lost all respect for this person.
In any case, it is good to be home. I am going to really enjoy sleeping in my own bed tonight.
