It's raining, It's pouring.

I don't know what the weather has been like for you guys today, but around here it has been storming. The storms rolled in around 5 (just in time for us to be out of the pool and back in our cabins) and didn't stop until about 7:30 (but we hear more are coming). 


While these aren't severe storms, we've got a plan in place were severe weather to happen and it was a good chance for us to talk through those plans (getting kids to safer spots if severe weather hit). We're grateful that we just had a lot of thunder and lightening. 


The weather did put a damper on our plans for counselor hunt tonight. Instead, we gathered all the kids in the Downstairs Chapel and played games and now we're watching "Tangled," a cute Disney movie (that the guys are actually equally excited about).

The first game we played was called "Magic Tambourine." Basically there is a "tambourine" that someone holds in the center of the circle. When the music starts, they start dancing and grab someone else to form a chain - that person grabs the next and so on. When the first person wants to, they drop the tambourine and the music stops - everyone runs back to a seat and then the last one standing gets to start the next round:

One of the cool things about magic tambourine is that sometimes someone decides to let the song play long and the whole camp ends up dancing (see the picture above). 


In addition to Magic Tambourine, we also taught the CGM Line Dance. This is a recent tradition for Camp Gailor-Maxon, done to the song "Everybody Dance Now," a Jock Jams favorite. 

Looking at tomorrow's forecast, it seems more rain is in our future but luckily tomorrow is a mostly indoor day so we'll hope for the best!
