As you might expect from a summer camp, the 4th was celebrated in style! The day was surprisingly hot (92º!) after 4 days of constant cold and rain, which made the celebration even better. The theme of the day here was that the camp was divided into two large groups: the Americans and the British, and there were competitions going on all day. The campers, and Tori, participated in a lot of fun games at various stations in smaller groups within their "country". (Rian got to try out the shaving cream slip and slide.)
We enjoyed a cookout for lunch and had British and American flag fruit-decorated cakes for dessert...very festive! After lunch there was a huge 29 leg relay race throughout camp between the Brits and the Americans, which coincidentally ended in a tie :) We finished the day with a campfire down at the beach (even though it had started to rain a little and had to actually sit inside the boathouse) roadting marshmallows and playing with sparklers.
It was a fun, hot, busy day!
(Although I am a little sad I missed the Village Northwest fireworks for the first time I think ever...oh well, this view is hard to beat!)
