I picked Jasmine up from camp today, and wow...her laundry reeks of horse urine!! I'm not sure how she did this. Her backpack, suitcase, everything....yuk!! Here is Jasmine and Mercedes- Cabin 2 Counselor- the "grumpy one":))
Jasmine LOVED this camp- even more than Girl Scout Camp. She rode her horse "Slim Jim" a 25-ish year old mare for 2 hours every day. They went into the lake with the horses, and went on a very long trail ride. One of the horses, (not Jasmine's) tried to lay down in the lake with the kid on his/her back! Luckily, the kid jumped off in time! This is second hand from Jasmine, of course. They did a few crafts- the beads that you shape into a form and melt them together with an iron. She also did a tie dye shirt- which was so gross, it's in the washing machine.
Also, lots of swimming, no jumping off the trampoline though, but she did climb the iceberg- or so she says. Jasmine is looking forward to going back to camp this coming week while I am in Billings, MT getting more dental work done. If I would have known I was going to Billings this week, I would have made the camp reservations for different time. She could have come with me for a little "vacation". You have to make reservations for these camps as early as February. If you wait any longer, they are already full. Oh well! She will have more fun than me next week!
I've just been told this very moment that the reason her bath and swimming towels were so smelly is that the Horse Camp kids were finger painting the horses. It's nice-- the horses get a little massage, and the kids can get creative. No pictures of it though. Apparently, the towel was just thrown somewhere....?
Playing bingo:)
Going to the Thursday night dance!
