We went to a carnival last night. We got tickets by playing [different] games, and we traded them in for a toy. We could get anything. I got 20 something [tickets]. It was real fun! I wonder if my family had fun? We got to shave a balloon, go bowling, and get your face painted and lots of other stuff! My favorite thing was fishing!

Tidy
Me and my Sesters all were in the same class tidy. We all did a shert. my shert looked like a the northern lites. I did not mean for it to be like that but I liked it.
[Editor’s notes: tidy = tie-dye]
This is the tie-dye shirt I made
We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at camp. We got to sit with the counselors.
Each day we had breakfast then class then a snack. Then we would do cooking then class then lunch. Then we would do a class then have a snack then we would eat what we cooked earlier. Then we would have dinner, then dessert, and then popcorn with a movie at night.
It was very fun sitting with the counselors. I sat with Vero, Paola, Nelson, Mariano, Alejandro, Ale, Bruno, Carla, Christina, Emilia, Evelyn, Edgar, Ana, and Yamile. But not with all of them at the same time. The counselors always spoke Spanish. I did not speak much. They spoke to me, but mostly to Mommy.
The food was from different countries like Guatemala and Argentina. It was very good. They brought out all the food and somebody from each table would go get it. At the end of each meal we would get a bucket and we would stack our plates and bowls in it and we would put our silverware in cups and dump them into the right bucket.*
