Back from Willow Springs....

It hardly ever rains in Phoenix, but of course when I went to pick Jasmine up at the bus stop... it was pouring down rain with thunder and lightening. What a mess!Apparently she wore the same clothes every day again, even though we've had the discussion about it many times. All of her clean and folded clothes, including underwear, shower towel, and clean folded sheets were in the dirty clothes bag!! She slept on the yukky mattress in her sleeping bag with no sheets:( Yuk! There are only two photos on the camp blog with Jasmine in them. In this one, she is the tiny dot with the same green shirt on. With a magnifying glass, I can see that at least she is smiling. Here are the "Coco Puffs" which consisted of two cabins- Jasmine's photography group and the Desert Divas. The photography group called "HerStory" was supposed to be a group learning to take photos to tell their own story. I don't think that happened. She did take a picture of a lizard and named him "Photographic". She made the frame too. You can hardly see him in the photo:) They made carrying cases for their cameras- which is good because even though we had a hard case, the camera looked like it aged by 10 years just in 5 days! Since it rained occasionally during the day, they did some indoor crafts. A painting.... and a "tie dye" that looks like it may have been meant to be a heart? Apparently at one of the nightly bonfires, Jasmine got the "most lovable smallest camper award":) A nice camper "parent report". Apparently she was teaching the other girls the benefits of being lactose and gluten free:))) Two badges-- one of which was supposed to be a STEM badge.
