Hello readers,
I wish you all could have been at our incredible celebration last night! Partly because we were celebrating John's birthday and partly because Ballibay-ers are just a fan of festive occasions, we threw one of the biggest dinner parties I can remember ever having here!
During the day, campers and staff members decorated the dining halls with balloons on every person's chair, and prepped the dinner tables with newspapers for the upcoming meal. When campers and staff arrived at dinner, they were informed that the meal was a real shrimp boil,
complete with corn, sausage, potatoes, and cornbread and strawberry salad on the side. The entire meal was doled out in family-style portions on the tables...directly on the newspaper! For many (including me!), this was a "first," but in my opinion, it was one of the most exciting and fun meals I've ever eaten at Ballibay! For dessert, everyone enjoyed a lemon birthday cake (with a rousing version of "Happy Birthday"...the loudest one ever!)
The dining hall did get a teeny bit loud, but as I looked around, campers were just elated. All we needed was some Cajun music and we would have been a snapshot straight out of a bayou cookout. Pictures will be added ASAP because this is one event I wish you could have all witnessed!
P.S. On Tuesday night, we had our DJ Dance. Everyone there was red-carpet-worthy!
More soon,
