Hampton went to Chuck E Cheese

On October 27th, we left from Ashburn and Springfield’s GV and headed to Chuck E Cheese since we had some time until the sleepover started. We entered and were immediately shocked to see how it had changed since we were younger. There are no more tokens, instead they used rechargeable play cards. We decided on the 72 minute play card, which was an amazing deal because for that time, Sara, Kensley, Reagan, and I could play unlimited games! We all shared the card so when one of us picked a game and swiped, we all picked a game nearby and passed the card around. There was skeetball, basketball toss, a cool jackpot game, temple run, and much more. Although the place is for kids, we all really enjoyed ourselves. At a fish spearing game, there was a treasure chest that would open and if you got the jellyfish that swam out you won the jackpot of 100 tickets. We all went to town to get it and Reagan hit it within the first couple of seconds. Before we left we ran all our tickets into the counting machine and ended up with over 1000 tickets. We decided to get cotton candy for the pledges and gave our card, with time left, to a kid we met. It was a fun time for all of us to play arcade games together. Then we went off to the Manassas sleepover!

On Tuesday, October the 23rd, Sara, Lauren, Reagan, Mom Kim, and I went to CNU to surprise Kensley after Smithfield’s pumpkin carving because she couldn’t make it. It was a little chilly when we arrived and we met up with Kensley and headed to the library. We decided to get Starbucks. Lauren and I got milkshakes and Sara and Kensley got flavored coffee. While we were catching up with Kensley we ran into Smithfield’s majority member, Madeline Phipps. We talked for awhile then said our goodbyes because we all had school the next day. It was a fun day of rainbow sisterhood!

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.
