cleaning doesn't have to be boring

Great news.... it is STILL RAINING here at camp.... hooray! I don't think there has ever been a group of people happier to see a few rainy days in a row than those of us in the office. When it first started to rain two days ago, we heard it in the office and ran outside to look. I would've played in it, too, but it was just too cold.

I've been wanting to blog for awhile about some of the random, funny things that happen at work.... like spontaneous photoshoots!

One day our project was cleaning out the PHUN department storage....
which is no small task. There are tubs and tubs full of streamers and cotton candy mix and snocone syrup and games for dances. There is a huge pile of backdrops for dances, canvassed paintings of things like a space shuttle for Intergalactic Space Party, a barn & saloon for Rodeo Roundup, blades of grass, giant flowers and ants painted so big you feel like you're 2 cm tall for Honey, I Shrunk the Camp. We even found a large painted retro Juke Box leftover from Time Bomb Prom.There are flags and noodles and sleeping bags and tires and towels and boxes.... and somewhere in the pile of things we pulled out of the Phun shed to organize, we found a tub full of costumes. And we did what anyone who has ever been to camp before would do when they see costumes, we put them on... and it was so funny that we had to stop cleaning for awhile and take a few pictures.

That's one of the best things about working at camp... at times the office work get tedious, and sometimes we end up doing things like organizing sheds full of stuff, which could be completely boring except that at those moments, something will come up, like a tub full of costumes that reminds us to have a little fun while we're working.

So next time you're feeling bogged down by life, just throw on a costume and dance around your room for a little bit. have a little PHUN. it's good for the heart. and the soul. and it is proven to be 99.9% effective in curing campsickness.
