Obviously, my “picture a day” idea broke down rather quickly.
I got the pictures taken, but didn’t have the brain power to put any words together to describe them. My husband encouraged me to just post the pictures, but they seem to need a bit of explanation.
For example, if I didn’t explain, you’d probably wonder why Melissa is sporting goggles in this picture:
{Isn’t it cute?} We had lots of laughs over the fact that when our star chopper of the week (Julia) chopped onions, Melissa would cry!
The goggles solved that problem, and Julia could chop away! The other lady in that picture (on the right) is Ann, who traveled all the way from Kamloops, BC to help in the kitchen this week. It was such a joy and incredible help to have her. {And, she’s a blogger, too! You can find her blog here.}
The saying “many hands make light work” is oh, so true in a camp kitchen. The other “hands” that helped in our kitchen this week were these:
Laurel’s & Sue’s. It smells awful good in the kitchen the day that Sue comes to do the baking for the week. Here’s a sample of what it looks like after she works her magic…
Texas brownies,
raspberry coffee cake, and…
1500 cookies!! {Literally!}
You may be wondering who we were cooking for this week. It was these little cuties:
85 Day Campers (grades 1-6) +35 Ranch Campers +35 CITS + 45 staff. (= 200)
The campers head home this afternoon and a new bunch will arrive on Sunday…
and we’ll start all over again!:)
