The Hungry Cub

we are surrounded by beautiful scenery!!! it reminds me of how lucky i am to live in Colorado. and how lucky i am to have the opportunity to be a part of RFKC! it's the time of night now when all the kids are in bed, sleeping is doubtful, but they are in bed. it is the counselors' & some staffers' break and when we get to come together and laugh and share stories about the day. (and eat sugar!) i love this family!

i miss my family. i have a group of girls that are so energetic and so excited to be here, one of them reminds me of my daughter soooo much, and that makes me miss her even more. BUT then i remember why i'm here, and why these girls are here, and i know that i'm lucky to have a great family to even miss. Some of these kids don't have that blessing, and we are here to show them God's love and respect and family. i hope that i can help give my girls an experience they can take with them and when they think about can feel as excited as they do today.

looking forward to the week, and meeting all the kids, and reconnecting with the kids from last year that i haven't seen since then.

for those of you wondering about todays activities..........

yummy fun breakfast, final prepping for kids to arrive, kids arrive and are cheered for as they come off the bus, some games were played, crafts were made, swimming, funyaks were rowed (like kayaks but rowable by children and pregnant woman), royal court was held (chapel) and a scavenger hunt (much like trick-or-treating) was completed. all in all very entertaining and fun-filled.

time for snacks!
