 Today was a very difficult day to take pictures of and to burn out the last bits of energy before the evening program as we saw a small amount of precipitation throughout the day.  The weather was not in favor of having outdoor activities as we had rain from first period to a small way into free time.  This, however, did not stop classes, due to the lack of lightning, and by how short the intervals were that we experienced rain, we felt classes could continue.  Cabin 1 ran their community service project today, in an attempt to raise money for kids who could not pay to come to camp, and they spent 2 hours in each of the program areas, learning new things and teaching new games.

Tonight's evening program is Staff Show!  This is a small performance and conglomeration of different skits and musical performances put on by the Staff here at Takodah for the kids to enjoy.  We had reenactments of funny movie scenes, and a few musical performances, one by our house band, and one by the Cherokee division staff.  There wasn't a camper in the crowd that wasn't smiling throughout nearly all of the night.
