Going Crazy.

This last week we went to Shakespeare showdown and Vanguards outdoor adventure. We had so much fun but by the end of the week we were going stark mad!!

I am slowly going crazy,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, switch!
Crazy going, slowly am I,
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, switch!

A week we had full of fun,
Of missionaries and burns from the sun,
Of tired girls, and counselor time,
Good enough for a rhyme.

We danced one night from 7 'till 10,
The next night we wanted to do it again!
We had so much fun with our skits,
Of Shakespeare and banana splits!

Then we played curses and a guest speaker,
Hiking after putting on a sneaker.
We did a cope course and timed it too,
Then off a zip-line we all flew.


Giggling in the night,
Relating life to our flashlight's
Singing about PB&J
Everything is just okay.

But then! We all are going crazy!
What oh what shall we do?
We are counting up to six,
And singing backwards too!!

We can walk up and down,
Eating mayo around the town,
Throwing sandwiches at subway guys,
Carrying backpacks and then they fly.

Another guest speaker, trip over a rock,
A teeny tiny little white dot.
Cold, cold, cold. Hot, hot, hot.
New sunburns never stop!!


Late every night, early everyday,
Backwards is every one's name,
Rachel-Spencer Isaiah-Grace,
Putting different names to different face,

Hiking up and down the trails,
Little deer with little tails,
Making everyone nervous,
Then chopping wood while doing service.

Singing a lot of camp songs,
All the day and while long,
Many plays, and silence sweet,
Smiling to everyone we meet.

For we have the best group of all!
Vanguard youth, standing tall,
V I Pineapples!! Best fruit of all,
Burn it up small, small, small.

Comedy of errors,
Seeing moose and bears,
Just kidding! But please be happy,
Pineapples make every other fruit crappy.

Gypsy, nun and nunja,
Signing orange shirts,
Little fun squishes,
Squirting in the dirt.

POP! Say that in an accent,
Those who swear must repent.
And everyone was going crazy,
Doing chores so we don't get lazy.

Do you like green pineapples?
Do you like yellow pineapples?
Do you like brown pineapples?
Do you like too ripe and prickly?
Even if it is squishy and drippy?

Shakespeare showdown was so much fun!
From acting workshops I learned a ton!
Impromptu and make-up class,
Were late! Hurry! Running fast!

The week felt like a day.. eek!
But each day felt like a long long week
After each exhausting day,
We were ready to hit the hay!

The boys challenged us to an all nighter,
But after devotional at the camp fire,
We were so sleepy our eyes just shut,
We were zonked, we just have bad luck!

Chores full of silly fun,
Cabin craziness for everyone,
Walking up and up and up,
VIP! Ya, yes, yup!

Cornfuzling stuff Shakespeare did create,
But shed many tears as the air-mattress deflate,
What a week we had full of amazing fun,
But now showdown and adventure are all done.

As this news sunk in deep,
We cleaned the cabin and wanted to weep.
This news was so, so sad.
After a week of fun, that's bad.

"I miss you already" and "I'm going to cry"
We all felt that we somehow might die.
How sad it was that we must go,
We all felt down after this show.

But on the way home there was still fun,
And our friendships have just begun!
We felt the spirit our testimonies have grown,
Our examples we have shown.

I can't wait for next year,
At showdown,
From now on a smile,
Instead of a frown :D
