i keep waking up hearing that stupid "princess pat" song.

i just got back from a week
in the mountains.

i escaped with absolutely no mosquito bites.
i did, however, get a massive sunburn
on my nose and forehead.
i look like a muppet.

and despite being constantly confused 
as one of the girls
instead of a leader,
it was one of the best weeks
i have ever had.

i loved being able to see the girls
grow closer as friends
and grow as individuals.

i wouldn't trade the opportunity i have
to work with these 12-17 year old girls
for anything.
i learn more from them than they do from me.

girl's camp is my favorite thing
and i love it with all of my heart.
but man alive,
it's nice to shower again.

is that the one that goes:
"All dressed in black, black, black. With silver buttons, buttons, buttons, all down her back, back, back..." ? Cause we used to sing that at girl scout camp in Kentucky and that would be crazy!
