Sorry these pictures didn't come yesterday, but to make a long story short, I didn't get them until late last night. So this morning, since I was up at 4:30, I put these on the computer and now I'm updating with them.
EDIT! EDIT!
Sven and Helga has arrived!
The Amazing Adventures of...SPARKLEPANTS
I cannot start with the pictures before noting the absence of a very special picture. I know you guys were all looking forward to the 'Hammer Time' photo. Unfortunately, when I got the pictures developed, I found that either someone put their finger over the camera lens or the camera messed up and cut out most of the picture. My apologies to all of you. However, I still have some very nice pictures...
Once upon a time there was a girl named Sparklepants, the amazing superhero. One day she went off to Canyon Creek Sports Camp for her school environmental trip. Now Sparklepants HATED school trips and really didn't want to go but her parents made her. So with a dreading mind, she went off to camp for four days.
After arriving at camp, her grade played a bunch of games and then were assigned their groups. All were excited about this, especially Nadinne^. Sparklepants was in the last group, what they affectionately called 'The Leftovers'. Sparklepants knew only a few people in her group; Tammy, Julia, and Hana. The other people she became closer to were; Alex, Jamie, Emily, Commander Unander aka Alek, Nick, Aaron, Reverand Sparkle aka Collin, Zoe, Andrew and Captain Jack. These people together, with their group leader Andy and Ms. Pozzi made up the MMSB, otherwise known as the Mongolian Musical Soul Bears (you could also add on ninjas to the end.
After much fun and laughter on the first day, they moved on to the second day where quite a few interesting things happened. First Sparklepants and the MMSB went to cooking and yucca bracelet making, absolutely necessary survival skills.
But first they had a problem. They needed water to make the corn cakes!
So Commander Unander sang: I'm going to get the water!!!
Commander Unander became very excited after getting the water and insisted on mixing up the batter for the corn cakes singing and dancing: I'm mixing the water!!!
*Note* I believe Ms.Pozzi has a video of this.
Everyone helped chip in making the corn cakes. Hana was deep in concentration while mushing up the corn.
But Tammy and Emily were having a little trouble...
Then Sparklepants and a few other MMSB members went off to make Yucca bracelets. It was hard work and they toiled away trying so hard to beat the poor plant with rocks. And you know only superheroes can make amazing yucca bracelets, so that's just what Sparklepants did.
Sparklepants helped her friend Tammy^ twist her bracelet so it was just perfect, while Sparklepants documented this important moment in their human survival lessons.
Everyone was pitching in to make the perfect bracelets. As you can tell Sparklepants and the others were SUPER excited as well...
Next the whole MMSB pitched in to help make the beef jerky, which they found to be delicious later that night. Sparklepants was very excited about the beef jerky because she loved beef jerky.
But then the MMSB was faced with another problem. A problem even superheroes couldn't fix. It started raining! At first it started out lightly, but then it began to pour. The MMSB hid under a patio and talked on the benches on important subjects such as who's party was the coolest that past year.
It started raining so hard that Ms.Pozzi, Ms. Choi, Andy and the other naturalists, ordered us to run back inside to our cabins for an hour so Sparklepants and the other members of the MMSB could get into dry clothes and come back for lunch.
Everyone was so excited to be inside! Even Sparklepants in the 2nd picture was overjoyed!
So the girls from MMSB all huddled inside their cabins, having fun while putting on all their raingear.
Hana and Julia pretended to be a dragon, as Hana's rain poncho was so big. They're lovely acting made Sparklepants laugh very hard so she took this picture. It seemed as though all their problems had been solved for a little while.
As they went back to lunch, the girls joined the other MMSB members and Alek stole Sparklepants' sacred camera. He took this photo of a non-superhero MMSB member laughing.
All the member of MMSB were now in the lunch room and Sparklepants was walking around with her non MMSB friends Nicky and Alessandra and MMSB member Reverand Collin as they looked at the beauty of the banners. The beauty of the banners amazed them and they were in awe of them. *Note* Look in the left hand corner and you will see the Hammer Time banner.
Then it was time to go to Archery. It was still pouring and for a half hour we sat outside in the pouring rain. Sparklepants still had a ton of fun talking to her friends though. After a half hour the wonderful Andy and Ms.Pozzi told the MMSB members to gather as they were going inside to make a fire. They left the other groups out in the rain while the miracle of fire was made, nice and warm inside. It was a long trek back though.
Hana was unhappy out in the rain.
So for 2 hours, the members of MMSB sat inside. They made a fire and then began to play games. Sparklepants and Andrew watched on as Captain Jack and Reverand Sparkle played an intense game of spit. Sparklepants acted as the ref/rule person. It was a very scary and close game but after another hour? (Collin and Jack correct me if I'm wrong) of playing without Sparklepants, Reverand Sparkle won.
The next day was the ropes course. They were there for 3 hours and Sparklepants spent most of the time talking to her friends. All the ropes people introduced themselves except Morgan who was tightening his harness (lol, MMSB). They all seemed very nice and they were. After 2 hours Sparklepants decided that she would jump for the ring, even though she was deathly afraid of heights. Sparklepants had a problem though, she needed a bulley team! Finally 3 brave souls stepped in to be her bulley team. Hana held the ladder for Sparklepants and took pictures throughout Sparklepants' journey up the 60 foot telephone pole.
When Sparklepants came to the top, she was very scared to stand on top of the pole and jump but she did it anyway.
Hana and Sparklepants were so excited that Sparklepants had made it down alive.
Then Hana, Sparklepants and her bulley team saw Tammy on the ropes course. So they ran over to say hi.
The next day was very sad because it was their last day at camp. The MMSB members had all become good friends and they were sorry to leave. The MMSB also were sad about leaving their amazing group leader Andy. So Sparklepants took a picture of a few members and Andy.
Tammy, Reverend Sparkle and Hana showed their appreciation for Andy (center) while Jamie and Alex smiled innocently.
Then it was time for one last group meeting. We all did appreciations and laughed a lot, especially about Andy's hat hair.
Then the MMSB had lunch and parted their seperate ways for the bus ride back.
THE END
I hope you all enjoyed my story since it took me about 50 minutes to write. In case you were either blind or tired, I am sparklepants. A few MMSB members have superhero nicknames, although the entire MMSB are superheroes.
For the MMSB- This trip was so amazing and I had so much fun with all of you. I wish it hadn't ended so soon. You are all amazing people and I hope that I'll get to be in another group with you sometime. I know we're all looking forward to seeing Andy again!
Now we have a beautiful picture of Sven and Helga. I will not explain as it would take a VERY long time.
I'm getting 3 teeth pulled in about an hour and a half. NOT fun.
So until the next adventure of the amazing Sparklepants...
