Week 4 but technically Session 5 of the camp season and what better than Ad Rush. I hit the mid summer wall the weekend before and spent the majority of Sunday to Wednesday permanently feeling ill. I made the best of it though. Ad rush is an action based program that runs every week of camp and I wasn't about to let feeling ill stop me from having fun.

| Another Bridge, Another Unit, same trickling River... |
Natters, Element, Tangle, Gizmo, Aerosmith and I were sharing the unit with Mac and the CITS in Shawnee and the week was pretty Busy. Little time for girl planning. We had Caving on Tuesday which was great as always. It was an all day trip to Glade but we ended up doing it backwards in the sense we did long side first then short side after because as we entered the cave we could hear another group singing in the tea room.
I love caving. It's like when you go to a neighbourhood you drive by the entrance to all the time, but don't truly realise the enormity of the little roads and narrow paths and alleys until you slow down an explore. I've only ever done Long side in the total of the 3 times I've been. It's still as enjoyable as the first time. Despite feeling incredibly sick we had laughs, and I helped lead people back out like I had my first time. No cut knee this time just damp, muddy and sore. We ate lunch outside before going back in for short side, where we sat as the kids played in the playground, laughing and joking.
Thursday was awesome too. We went white water Rafting and it was awesome! We floated down the river all day in rafts, riding the rapids the river had created because of all the heavy rain. Luckily we had a lovely day for it. We got to play in the rapids and float down out of the rafts as well as take a few swings into the river on a tree rope swing. It was awesome. Derrick gave us a history lesson as we floated the last stretch of the day . It was great.
Friday night was a welcomed escape. Mama Galaxy whisked her lovely daughter and her friends; Mo, Mac and I back to Maryland for a weekend away. We all slept like logs and woke late the next day. Mo and I rising, followed by Mac. We had to wake Galaxy. We spent the day thrifting, venturing into Trader Joe's
(LOVE LOVE LOVE) as well as having Calzone which was amazing. We also decided to get something pierced. It's a summer thing? So I got my nose pierced. We spent the evening curled up on the sofa watching films eating Trader Joe's yummys.
