I am so sorry that I didn't have more of an update for you yesterday. I sat down, wrote my blog, and then stepped out of the office for about 5 minutes and someone had moved away from the page. The entry was gone! I left you those fun shrimp boil pictures, but I know it wasn't much of an update. I'll try to get you all caught up now.
The last two nights we've had our Festival of One Acts, including the shows "Love," and "Hate," written and directed in collaboration by counselors Molly, Laura, and their casts. As house manager, I always get the unique view of how both the actors and the crew are functioning and once again it was quite special to see the hard work done by every member of the production. The bows of the show were set to the tune "All You Need is Love" by The Beatles, and even though we always use proper theater etiquette at Ballibay, almost all of the audience was humming along or singing quietly on the chorus. It was, to say the least, a touching moment. It almost makes me wish that I had a video camera attached to me at all times so you'd never have to miss any of the incredible things that happen here on a daily basis!
Additionally, today we're saying farewell to our Farm Arts 1 campers. They've been a joy to work with, play with, and watch grow. They will be missed at Ballibay, but we hope to see them back next summer. As always, thank you parents, friends, and any other readers for sharing your fantastic children with Ballibay!
More soon,
