Gillis Play and Learn update 2017

Hello, Welcome back!
 I have been working at the daycare for about 8 months now. I have wrote about a post about my first few weeks from when I started, since then a lot has happened.
Since I have started working there I have slowly picked up on how things worked there.
   First of all since I started I have learnt all the monkeys, sharks, and cheetahs names, but I have not learnt all the names of the school ager's because I have not spent a lot of time with them. As I have been here for a while I have got to know the kids and feel more comfortable with them.
 Since I started in the winter I didn't get to see what the play yard looked like without snow. once the snow had cleared, I could see the sand boxes, and the gardens. the gardens were empty so I still hadn't seen the play yard full. This summer we had planted all kinds of things. there was Rhubarb, lettuce, flowers, chives, and other stuff. I don't even know everything that was growing in that garden. Some things from the garden we sometimes use for snacks like he lettuce. which brings me to my next topic.
  snacks.
We make them a morning snack and an afternoon snack. on Mondays for morning snack we have Fruit and crackers, and for afternoon snack we have bean burrito wraps. on Tuesday we have cereal for morning snack, we have rice cakes with wow butter, and fruit for snack in the afternoon. we used to have roasted chickpeas, and veggies, but they weren't into the roasted chickpeas, so we tried hummus and crackers, but the didn't really like that either. it was changed to the rice cakes wow butter and fruit. On Wednesday morning snack is banana wraps with wow butter, afternoon snack is smoothies and pretzels. Morning snack on Thursday is bannock and fruit, afternoon snack is nachos with salsa and veggies. Friday morning snack is yogurt drops and crackers, and afternoon snack is fruit loaf, and fruit.
  Most days if not everyday we would spend time outside. most times we stay in our play yard, but sometimes we would go to the school yard and play on the play structures and the swings in the summer, and sometimes we would go spend sometime in the nature lot.  The nature lot is a field with tree's. in the nature lot the kids can run around, through the bushes and climb trees.
  sometimes in the summer we will have outdoor challenge day. On outdoor challenge days we spend all say outside. we have snack, lunch and our naps outside, we do everything outside.
This job has been great so far, I can't wait to continue learning and playing.
Thank you so much for reading!

Third week volunteering at Camp Moose Lake in the kitchen part two

Hi,
It might seem a little weird that i am just posting this now, but honestly i forgot about writing it. i thought of just not finishing, Oops!

 Thursday August 25th
This morning i woke up from a great sleep. I went into the kitchen to start the day. There wasn't anything for me to do to get ready for breakfast, so I made juice for supper. Tonight was theme meal, the theme was a wedding. They wanted to do a "bar" I made Raspberry lemonade, pink lemonade, and peach ice tea.
 Breakfast was ready. We had French toast, bacon, fruit and cereal. All the French toast and bacon was gone by the end of breakfast. After I ate breakfast we cleaned up all our breakfast dishes and went to devotions.  After devo's were finished i went back into the kitchen to make pizza for lunch. there were a lot of different pizza's to make, there was bacon cheeseburger, BBQ chicken, veggie, deluxe, pepperoni, and ham and pineapple. we also had lots of carrots and celery.    When it came to lunch time, all the campers were very exited for pizza, because who isn't? All or most of the pizza was gone by the end of lunch. Lunch was all finished and cleaned up, and then I took my break until it was time to start supper.
 Tonight was the theme meal, the theme was a wedding. for supper we ate mashed potatoes, roast beef, gravy, salad, and meatball in case there was not enough roast beef.
They had the service down by the waterfront. the lodge was the reception, they had a head table and a juice bar, and an open mic. I ate supper, and after I cleaned up I was done for the night.
 In the Evening i sat in the loft reading and writing in my journal, and then I went to bed after that.
 Today was the last full day of camp.

 Friday August 26th
Good Morning, today was the last day of youth camp. they got to sleep in, which meant I got to sleep in a bit. I went into the kitchen and got started on breakfast. For breakfast we had waffles with blueberry sauce, white sauce and fruit, I toasted the waffles.   The white sauce was a treat to everybody, because I don't think I have ever had white sauce at camp, and it was a nice change from all the syrup.    After breakfast was finished and all cleaned up, I got started on lunch.  I sliced tomatoes, cut cheese and cut lettuce. Lunch was subs by the mini lodge. I got everything ready to take outside for lunch. we served subs, veggies and chips for lunch. while we were cleaning up lunch the campers were packing up. After we cleaned lunch, I started cleaning the kitchen.  I went to the closing program after I was done in the kitchen, the program ended and the kids that weren't on the bus, said there good bye's and left. The kids that were on the bus left, and then the staff including me sat outside the lodge on the grass eating chips and drinking pop, and talking about the week.
 We sat outside for a while, then we went into the lodge and decided what everyone would clean. I didn't have to help clean, but since I was staying in the mini, I thought I would help clean the mini.
 For supper I had whatever leftovers were in the fridge, after supper we had a closing program at eagles nest, where we made a fire, sang some songs, and shared stories about our week, or some campers. by the time we finished at eagle nest it was ate so I went to bed. I think everyone else watched a movie.
 The next day we left. me and my sister got a ride to Steinbach with the other staff. in Steinbach we stopped at the thrift store to do some shopping, we got some lunch at McDonald's, then took it to the park to eat. I waited at the park for my mom. my mom came and then we went home.

I hope you have enjoyed reading about my weeks at camp.
