Camp is so good.

I went up to camp this weekend, because there were two troops staying there that we had to tend to and all that. The troops were brownies, and they were so ADORABLE! I'm generally not a fan of little kids, but these ones were kick ass, seriously. They said that most awesome things, and they were always there to help you out, or express their gratitude for your help. Early on in the weekend, this one girl Genevieve (totally awesome name, I know) latched onto me, which I'm not used to, and she just lit up every time she saw me. It was the best feeling in the world to make a kid light up when they see you. She always planned to sit next to me when we ate, and she even asked me for permission to do things, when her mother was right there next to me! Her mom said that she had a girl crush on me. Probably true. haha With teenagers, I never got that, because they're too cool or too mature to express their love to anyone, which I'm cool with too. I guess I just never knew how great it felt to be the center of attention in a group of 10 girls. It was crazy awesome, for sure.

I don't think I've ever been to camp this early in the year, where there are flowers blooming, so I was really surprised to see so many all over camp. One of my favorite flowers just littered Stag Ridge; it was so cool!

I've never actually seen Lady Slippers up close before, so I was really excited to see them all over the place.







I also decided to go around taking a couple of pictures of camp, so I'll post one of those here as well. Yay camp!













And this here is Willow. She is just so darn great. She worked with me last year at Camp Oak Hills, the other Girl Scout camp in Harrison. It was really good to work with her again, because I didn't really get to know her last year. 



That's all for now!

Eat. Sleep. Camp.
