Family camp rumbled to a stop on Monday morning. Everyone seemed to be in a hurry to leave the peaceful woods behind and re-emerge into the blinding sunlight glinting off of the traffic jam around them. I then spent a rousing day off doing my laundry and vaccuming my room. I am so much fun.
Handcrafts was great. I really enjoyed learning a new area and getting to spend time working with Marie again. She taught me many valuable things, such as how to start a gimp and how to embrace colour. I completed my first gimp and have begun my second, which I will be able to complete this upcoming weekend as I will be spending Grandparents camp (with only fifty-six campers!) in Handcrafts as well.
Wednesday was Bake Day and I spent a couple of hours scooping cookie dough and stacking cookies with the other staff women. Then I finally met with Phyllis and learned my weekly schedule. It was pretty much as expected, but there is some flex time in there that I will be spending doing random work. It'll be nice to have a routine, but a routine with some variety.
In other excellent news, I just got a call saying that there is a camp vehicle I can use. Maybe now I'll make it up to the office to pick up my mail.

Family Camp - day one
Families have been pouring down the road into the RV park all afternoon. A light sprinkle did nothing to deterr the eager setting up of tents. Extreme politeness characterizes these campers as they cautiously inquire about the exact boundaries of their sites and ensure that they are not intruding on someone else's space.
I stopped by and saw the first group of my relatives. The second group called the first while I was there to inform them of the extreme traffic in which they found themselves - slightly distressing to the first group, since the second had half of the supper with them. I callously abandoned them and went to the Dining Hall for my supper. It was there that I discovered the foundations of my GFS world had been shaken - the milk has changed. Country Fresh chocolate has been exchanged for TruMoo! The carton is confusingly blue and the taste is not the same. It's an outrage ;)
It's shaping up to be a great weekend. I will be in Handcrafts most of the time. I've never done Handcrafts before, so it will be an adventure.
