On Saturday, October 20th Reagan, Lauren, Sara, Kensley, and Amelia went to Thousand Acres Camp site with the Richmond girls. We first went trick or treating, which was a long walk. Then I dropped my delicious sucker on the ground and almost cried. At the end, we had lots of candy. We all were so tired that we needed to have some food. We went to Cook Out! Lauren thought it was funny to put a hush puppy in my drink and when I found it I thought it was a big bug and screamed. All the girls then went to the Dollar Tree, which had lights out on the sign, so it said “dolla ee” We had lots of fun. I love supporting rainbow girls and can’t wait till we help again.

On July 29, Hampton Assembly went to the Virginia DeMolay Conclave dance. Some of our girls were already inside at the banquet while we waited for the doors to open. In the lobby, we joked around with the other girls and shared stories. A major highlight of big events that sometimes gets overlooked is that everyone comes together and you get to reconnect with your Rainbow sisters. Sometimes it feels like an eternity has gone by since you last spoke to each other but when you and your friends get together it’s so easy to talk to them that it makes you feel like they never left. When the doors opened a flood of people rushed out. There was chattering and laughing and cameras flashing. It’s all very chaotic and completely wonderful. After I found our girls, Sara, Maddy, Alex, Reagan, our prospect Audrey, and I all got together to take photos and joined in with many other Rainbow girls in their photos. The room was cleared and we entered the dance floor. Like any dance, it was super fun and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Kensley made a reappearance later in the night after speaking at the banquet and leaving to go to Supreme practice. We all danced around together and had a good night.

Hampton Assembly made a surprise visit to Smithfield Assembly! Kensley, Sara, and I all packed into Mrs Kim’s car and headed down the road with tubs of ice cream. Since Smithfield won the sandcastle building contest at beach day, they were entitled to an ice cream social. When we got there we began setting up the table with toppings like nuts, whipped cream, sprinkles, m&ms, and teddy grahams. We also had delicious caramel and chocolate topping and cherries. When the girls arrived they looked shocked to see us. Did I forget to mention this was a bit of a surprise? They were even more surprised when they saw we had ice cream! We joined them in their meeting and all ate our treats together. Even with all of the girls and adults eating, we still couldn’t finish all the ice cream. It was a delicious and fun time!

The murder mystery event was on Friday, August 10th. The girls who attended were Gigi, Akshita, Eliza, Isabella, Kate, Joella, Maribel, Dalanie, Vanessa, Selena, Zoey, Aaliyah, M’Batu, Balu and myself. My Nana, sister, and I drove over the hills, through the woods, to Kate’s house. We got there around 6:30 before it started getting dark out. I saw Vanessa and told her I liked her dress, my Nana liked it because it matched her glasses.  The girls outside walked inside and closed the door. I went to open it and was told this is V.I.P only.   That meant I had to knock on the door. When I knocked they opened and invited me in. My Nana, sister, and I were asked who we are. My Nana was a watcher, my sister was Coach Cartier, and I was Celebrity Judge Jasmine. We ate a lot of snacks and then we began the “murder mystery”.  We were encouraged to do whatever it takes, such as blackmail and lying!   We talked to people on our lists and got information. After that we all came together and BAM… Tina Texas (Ella) dropped dead!  We got envelopes and inside was money and clues.   Once again we went around asking people questions and getting information about the murder.   People were blackmailed, robbed and lied to. At the end we put all our information together and wrote down who we thought was the killer. My sister wrote down Amy Arizona and was the only one right!  Amy Arizona (Dalanie) killed Tina Texas with Tic Tics made in Arizona. We all were surprised and left in awe. Most of the girls were going to the beach the next day so they had to leave as soon as it ended but we took pictures and had a lot of fun and it was pretty cool. My Nana, sister, and I went back over the hills and though the woods back home and when I walked in the house I slept like a baby.
