More Pictures Of Camp!!!

Charter School-Girls' Camp

I started a Charter Home Study Academy three weeks ago. It has been very interesting with all the classes I have been taking. What I have heard from teachers and other parents is that all the..."punks" go to Charter schools, so that they don't "Disturb the peace at schools". Well I'm glad to say that I only have mmm, maybe 3 so called "Punks" at my school. I have 6 subjects Math, English, Science, Health, Spanish, and a Typing class (mom thought that might be good for the future). I have 3 classes at the Charter School. English with 6 other students, Science with 5 other students, and finally (my favorite) Espanol - Spanish. My teacher for espanol is very nice and does not right away speak English to you. Not like my dad's teacher when he was my age. He said that he had one teacher that spoke spanish all the time it was never ever English so all the students had to learn it to understand him.

I have learned El alfabeto last week and now know how to spell my name in espanol. I have to "Hand in my work" every week and meet with my teacher as well. All of the Teachers there want every student to call them by their first names so I have to call my teacher Diane instead of Mrs. ------.....I don't even know any of the Teachers names (they refuse to tell anyone). They think that it will make the student feel more comfortable around the place. Hahaha, yeah it gets pretty interesting. Now on to a different subject:

Subject: GIRLS' CAMP! Girls' Camp was so much fun. Although I think SOME of the guys thought it a little "boring and really interesting" by what some of their sister's told them. Well, let me tell you, It was on of the best of the best camps we have had. Even though we couldn't swim it was still an awesome time to be there with all the girls and be with Our Lord. We went on 3 hikes. The first was a Shelter Buliding hike the next was a Nature hike/animal room, and then the last I couldn't go on because it was too steep. But it was a Gold panning hike. We did Silk screening, made Alms Jars, and also we also made Out-Door Shrines for Our Lady. The Skit night was soo much fun! The parents did one about the Altar Boys wanting to go and see what we R.M.G's. do every first Saturday.

SO two boys "Ethane" and "Justina" disguise themselves as the "New Girl's" and stay for a meeting and have tea with all the girls. It was very funny what all the parents did. So congrats to them for an awesome skit! Another night we did a Square Dance. That was fun as well. We had Mass every morning at 7am and of course me with my Alarm Clock woke everyone up at 5:30....by ACCIDENT!!! LoL...OH! And of course the Catholic Jeopardy!! And of course Group 2 won! We all did an awesome job! And man, did group 1 do a sweet job as well! Although that's what you get for studying all night when you could be partying with Group 2 till 11pm!!! ;-p Anyway, I think that's it for now....If I missed anything from Girl's Camp please let me know Girls!


Adios!!

A nice ROUND of applause would do, or even an alligator clap would suffice! Sorry, but I feel like a kindergartener today! Welcome!

Oh say can you see...

Here's just a taste of the Pilegaards' 4th of July Part. If anyone want's a full copy of all 235 shots that we took, just email me.

 

The first three are pics of the waterballon toss. The winners are Eric Pilly and Anja Longenecker as the first pair and Mrs. Burns and Mrs. Harter as the tying second pair. The last shot is of the carry-the-water-from-one-pail-to-another-with-just-a-sponge game, of which the winner is unknown to me.

 

Here's some great shots of the cherry pit spitting contenders in action. And guess who's the champion of this game. Me!

 

Here's some pics of the hula-hooping contest, which Steven Carrey won, beating last year's champion, Lauren Burns.

As you can see, Mr. Harkins won the large watermelon-eating contest...

...and Julia won the small watermelon-eating contest.

 

Above are some of the bubble-blowing contest. I don't know what was with me but I sucked at that game hard core!

 

The first three are pics of the bring-the-greased-watermelon-to-your-opponents'-side activity. The last is one of a race. 

Here's some "swing-time" pics.
