Friday afternoon I left the boys with the neighbor and Caroline and I (along with my co-leader and 4 other girls) headed to Camp Pamaluu on the North Shore. We were going to the Girl Scout camp for the weekend. We had a great time and stayed busy.

Our troop of scouts! |

Friday night our troop was tasked with starting the fire for S'mores. Each girl got a chance to light a match, some of them for the first time. Not Caroline! |
Saturday we went to different stations/activities. The first was games, dress for the weather and strike 3 poses and froggie killer.
Then we went on a hike collecting items to glue onto a picture frame. We got nice and muddy from all the rain the night before.
Then onto a first-aid, knife safety.
We then went to knots where we made survivor bracelets. After that we got to go cool off in the pool! The leaders took turns taking a shower while the girls swam.

Audrey, Saniya, and Caroline busy with ? (I don't know what it's called. The plastic-y string you make into whatever. It ends up in a square with 2 colors.)

My co-leader's daughter ended up throwing up Saturday morning near the porta potty. They ended up leaving before breakfast. The good thing was I had 4 great girls that get along and made it very easy for me to do this on my own. I was exhausted Sunday afternoon when we got home and then started feeling sick as the evening wore on. Monday morning I was worse and ended up staying on the sofa snoozing on and off all day. If I got up and moved around then I had to go to the bathroom! So I stayed put! The kids were great and loaded and unloaded the dishwasher twice, vacuumed, and sorted all the dirty laundry! Such great kids!
