Camp, Shakespeare, and melted ice cream

Saturday morning Anna and I got up at 7 o'clock, yes that would be in the morning. I really don't like getting up that early on Saturday, I usually sleep in until 9 or 10. The K's picked us up and we went with them to Camp Bayoca to help a bunch of other volunteers to help fix up the place before it opens up. Natalie, Anna and I got stuck raking leaves for three hours in the morning. Not fun. We were so tired, sore, and hungry, we were singing at the top of our lungs all the songs we could think of. After lunch we captured the gator and drove around getting mulch, watering plants, and bringing water to the workers. That part was actually fun. People kept saying that we needed to do real work, but I thought it was pretty important..:) We were really sweaty when we got to the K's house, so we all took showers and ate Popsicles.
After eating dinner, we got ready and rushed out the door to go to the Shakespeare play, "As You Like It." That was the main reason that Anna and I were with the K's all day, because the rest of our family was at a picnic and we had to go with our Shakespeare class to the play. The play was really good.
At the end of half-time, Mr. K said that he would treat us all to ice cream, so we all got in line and then the lights started flashing. We got our ice cream and were inhaling it as fast as we could with flimsy plastic spoons trying to dig into rock-hard ice cream. I got about four bites when people were signalling us to go. The lady security person wouldn't let people go in with their ice cream, but the guy said we could if we put the lid on, put the spoons in our bags and didn't eat it until afterwards. We took it. In the car on the way back we 'ate' our ice cream, which by this time was basically milkshakes. It was still yummy.
