Kanye @ Camp?

                  Good evening parents! Today was a spectacular Thursday with the sun shining all day and the temperature was just right for us all to go outside without getting too sweaty. Breakfast today was scrambled eggs and hash browns, how exciting! After breakfast everyone headed out to do their avodah(work/job) like cleaning the pool or picking weeds out from our gan(garden). For pish today the Amelimot were still doing their tiyul(hike) activities and returned at around lunch. The Anakimot had a long instructional swim session for their pish and the Tzophimot practiced their kabalat Shabbat songs in the moadon. The Bonimot &Bogrimot combined for pish today to become closer as shkavot(age groups) and also to learn about the Israeli gay pride parade together!

                  After that we had sports, and our sports today were Baseball, Just Dance, Running, Swimming, and Basketball. For lunch today we had corn bread and a huge pot of steaming chili, delicious! Everyone ate and chatted gleefully as we enjoyed in the mid-day meal.
                  During kibud(snack time) we had a ‘fire drill’ and everyone ran to the basketball court only to find that today was tochnit erev meyuchedet meaning a very special evening activity that actually began at around 4 o’clock today. The theme was Kanye West, one of the greatest musicians and producers of our generation. The day revolved around him, his music, his family, and a few other featured guests, like Taylor Swift and Paul McCartney. The event started off with everyone splitting up and creating music videos for Kanye’s music. Afterwards everyone put on their most fashionable attire and went to the moadon to have a fashion show where people got the opportunity to strut their stuff.
                  Afterwards we had an incredible dinner of meatball subs and sweet potato fries, accompanied with other cooked vegetables. As we ate, the music videos we created were projected on a screen in the chadar so we could all enjoy them while we ate. The day ended off with a large messiba(party) where we all got to dance around to Kanye’s own selection of music. There was candy, music, tattoos, and a a large sign where people could sign their names commemorating the event.
Anyway, that’s all for today and we’ll be back tomorrow for another spectacular Shabbat!
