Friday

Friday 2/2: today when we got here we were only here 5 minutes earlier. score!!!!!!!!!! so we had to WAIT until 9 o clock to feed our baby goats. my goat, pineapple, was really sweet and easy to handle today. then we brushed and curry-combed the horses (bella and patches). after that, i got to lead bella to the place we ride her at. it was fun. i had my hand so close to bella mouth, i thought she was gonna bite my hand. she didnt. then we had to do chores. teams 2 and 3 had to do pasture work, which is where we pick up rocks in the pasture so the horses dont step on them. but before that, when we were riding horses, i got to steer bella again. she trotted and i went fast. i think i am comfortable riding horses now. i think im gonna take horse-back riding lessons.And when i got off of bella i got to go inside and vote who i want to be the all-star camper and counselor. i cant tell you who i picked. then i got to ride patches. anyway, during chores, everybody was hot so chrissy sang the christmas rap (wrap). it was aweosme. she is my favorite counselor. after chores we were making pizza. i got to grate a little bit of cheese then teams 2 and 4 had to go outside and weigh our goat. we used measuring tape. i dont see how that gets the wieght but it does. my goat, candy weighs130 pounds and my baby goat weighs 45 pounds.then we came back inside we made pizza and i got to grate cheese and i got to spread the sauce and cheese. got to go milk now. bye. ok so i just got back from milking my goat. she did better 2day then ever. she was sweet. Candy gave 1 whole pound of milk. i looooooooooove her! i hope i get her again next year. then when i got back i got my soap pattern. it had 2 goats and said goat milk. it was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i really think that either meredith or jessica is gonna get to be all-star camper. im really happy for them. im almost 100 percent sure it will be one of them 2. even if they dont believe me.

Friday 1/2 : so yesterday, the way we got wet was since cody and jessica got to dump water on 2 of the counselors, they got payback. 2 or 3 people at a time went outside and told us to sit down and not look back and pretend that we were talkin with friends. then, like 5 seconds after the camera was rolling, they dumped water on us. i was sitting on the outside and the people in the middle got soaking wet and i was like"yes!!!! the only got the middle!" then they took another bucket and dumped it only on me and christian! it was wet!!!!!!!! then the line was soooo long to change my clothes. we made salve. it was tangerine scented. it smelled goooooooodd!!!!!ok, i will come back l8er. bye

we are fixin to get wet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thursday:we actually got here on time today.we fed our baby goats and my baby goat(pineapple) was so focused on getting the milk our of the bottle that she was laying down drinking very hard.then we rode the horses. I got to ride and steer Bella today!!!!!! i got to trot on here by myself!!!!! it was awesome!then we did our chores. i got to do goat-showing. my goat likes me i think because she was doing good for goat-showing. what you do is is you have to lead your goat in a circle and when you have to stop,you have to set the front legs together and the back legs apart and even. then we had a break and i came to a computer and did the goat parts quiz. i think i know about half of the parts.then we had to do MORE chores. my team, team 2

had to put poop in a pile and then scoop it up. we did it in the baby goats pen.then we had a beekeeping lesson and we saw bees in a giant glass thingy. it was cool.now im blogging and im about to milk candy and hopefully she wont think im a fly when i try to milk her. i had to bring an extra set of clothes because the counselors said we were gonna get wet. they say its a surprise how we will get wet. im excited!!!!!!!!!!!! we are gonna make laundry detergent. yesss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!enthusiasm!!!!!!!!!!!! k, now i gotta go milk. bye.

Wednesday: we got here on time this time. we got to feed milk to our baby goats again and pineapple kept sneezing or something. we got to ride the horses in the pasture this time. we passed the trail work that was my chore on monday. i was the first one to go on the trail by horse. we got to ride both horses up and down the hills. it was fun steering patches.while we were waiting to ride both horses, we were playing games like the counting game, simon says, and red llight,green light. then we had to do the finish on our leather 4 leaf clovers. then we did our chores. wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we got to scoop poop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was soooooooo fun. poop is sooooooooo much fun to scoop!! just kidding!!!!! it was stanky. then we had a break. the lady that makes us lunch donated freezy pops and everyone got to have one. they werent all the way frozen though. then we had to clean angora fiber. it was wet and dirty. and there were bees all over the place! then we got to come inside to the air-conditioned house (thank god!) and got to feel angora fiber not wet.jessica got to spin straw but nobody else got to. now im blogging and im gonna make cheese and milk my goat and make a card for the lady that donated the food. ok, gtg now, bye. peace out, homedog! enthusiasm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i really hope i win all-star camper. but, you know its ok if i dont. oh!!! i forgot. for lunch we got to go to the pond and it was awesome. soooooo fun!!!!! k, bye now.
