Selfishness

This summer we will be doing some fun activities to learn about Character Qualilities.  Each year you are at kamp you will be learning about a different one...depending on how old you are.  All of the kamps are doing them.  I must say that they are going to be fun.  They will not be a talk but hands on learning...and I can't wait.  Anway, one of the character qualities was Selflessness.  I was researching some fun media that had to do with being selfish or had to do with be Selfless.  I found a hilarious one that had to do with selfishness.  This video is the definition of selfishness....a dog defending his bone.  Except this time, the dog is trying to keep the bone away from....himself.  I haven't laughed this hard in a while.

K-1 Klinics

Someone sent me this video and I thought why don't we do some of these sports as klinics at kamp?  Just kidding because this is some crazy stuff.  People are bold and have no fear.  I am amazed!  Don't try these at home!

Your K-1 Princesses!!!!

So, I spent last weekend hanging out with the Princesses for K-1.  All of the princesses (the 18 year old ones) that are elected the prior summer at K-2 come for a fun weekend.  there are girls there that will be the princess at K-2, K-1 and K-Kountry!  We spent a fun weekend planning stunt, learning about leadership, playing octopus ultimate frisbee (yes you read that right...ulitmate frisbee with a dead octopus)  We went to a thrift store and got all dressed up to go to sonic and bowling.  We played tons of games.  The dodgeball game was tied.  We didn't do a girls vs guys game....bummer!  Here are your princesses.

Here are the girls that will be the princess the 2nd month term.

Here is a group pic with the princesses for the first two week term.  (Yes...all you two weekers if you want to run for mini princess and someday run for the older princess...you need to start going the first two weeks of the summer!  No monthers...just you!)  Since we had three terms last summer we had to combine the princesses elected from 1st and 2nd term last summer.  Here is a pic of them

Here is a group pic of all the chiefs and princesses for all the kamps!  Get ready to have some fun because these guys and gals are awesome!

Cheif and Princesses Weekend

I have a fun weekend coming up...yes I do!  Guess who is coming to Kanakuk to get ready for the summer....all the Chief's and Princesses!  Yep, all you Kicks and Kiowas get excited because those princesses that were elected at K-2 last summer are coming to prepare to make summer fun for you!  What do we do?  Well, we help them plan stunt, we tell them what its going to be like as a princess, and we have lots of fun.  Can you imagine coming to camp before it starts!  We might even have a tribal warball game.  Yep..Kicks versus Kiowas.  Its not for points of course, just to get the excitement going for competition.  (Is anyone singing the competition song in their head like I am?)  My favorite warball game is the Kicks and Kiowas verses the Choctaw and Cherokee Chiefs.  (Remember we have got the 18 year old princesses and chiefs that are not only going to K-1 but also K-Kountry and K-2).  I get to play that game and I plan on wearing one blue and white sock and one red and white sock.  The girls need to win this one!

The most important thing that we do this weekend is challenge these princesses to lead you and lead you well!  I am excited for you to meet them.  You will have to stay tuned on Monday because I will post pics!

See ya on Friday!

Fur Coat

I am wearing a coat today.  I don't understand how it can be 80 degrees outside one day and now its 50!  Burrr...  A friend sent me this.  Since I am wearting a coat today I thought it was fitting.  I am glad I am not wearing this coat.



I am impressed that all those animals can stay still.  My piper would have never sat there like that animal did around her neck!  Are you ready to not wear winter clothes like me?  Bring on the shorts!
