What a fun day at the pool! We began at the Mesa Trailhead to sing and dance to some of our favorite tunes including Swimming Song, Around the World, and Tarzan. Did you know Tarzan has a tan from being hit by a frying pan? Yep.
Amoeba tag helped us wake up and work as a team which lead into cabin group conversation about what works and what does not work when working together. After covering the rules of the pool we loaded the bus and made our way to the pool where we had a big sunscreen party! The pool was refreshing as the sun was toasty. We slid down the slide, played with noodles, jumped off the diving board, and mingled with new friends. After lunch there were many friendship bracelets and lanyards to be made so the majority of campers had multiple colors of strings hanging off their hands for most of the afternoon. We enjoyed a scrumptious snack of grapes and yoghurt covered pretzels and sang our afternoon songs on the bus including On Top of Spaghetti and I Love the Mountains because we here at MDC LOVE THE MOUNTAINS! …doom deeyadah doom deeyadah…

We enjoyed the cool cloud cover this morning as we sang morning songs at South Mesa Trailhead. The oh so fun Hippo Song serenaded the world around us followed by the classic Swimming Song. Our morning game of Commonalities brought campers together as they found others who shared the same favorite ice cream flavor, book, movie, camp activity, etc. After reviewing pool rules in order to set up a fun and safe day we loaded the bus and headed to the pool where we enjoyed the cloud cover until after lunch. The following sums it all up: big red slide, oodles of noodles, a bouncy diving board, marco polo, lanyards, friendship bracelets, popsicle stick creations, and making new friends! The sun hid behind the clouds until after lunch. We enjoyed juicy watermelon for afternoon snack. After singing about sneezing and meatballs we loaded the bus with gear and campers and made our trek back while playing Sleeping Bunnies on the bus. What a wet, refreshing, fun-filled day!
