Buckroe Beach Adventure

My Buckroe Beach adventure started out the night before the event right after solving a murder mystery party.  We packed up the minivan and “kidnapped” Selena S. and five of us headed off to Newport News for the night.  We got a hotel room so we could sleep in and not have to wake up before dawn to get to the event on time.  That morning we had breakfast at the hotel and headed to the beach.  We had some trouble finding it so we were a little late, but once we got there it was sunny and fun.  We went into the water, played games and had a sandcastle building contest.  My ride had to leave early because traffic was bad and we had to be back for band rehearsal.  There were many girls from Manassas there including:  Kate, Dalanie, Zoey, M’Balu, Katie, Sami, Joella, Batu, Gigi and Selena and myself.

Murder Mystery Party

On August 10, 2018, Manassas Assembly had a fun event:  a murder mystery party themed:  Killing for the Crown.  We got all dressed up as beauty pageant contestants, beauty coaches or judges and got ready for a fun night of “murder” and “deception”.  It was so much fun and Ella played the character, aka Miss Tina Texas, that was “murdered” and Dalanie, aka Miss Amy Arizona, was the “killer”.  Bribes/”Donations” were taken and evidence was found.  By the end of the night everyone got to try to figure out who did it and why.  Prizes were given for the most money collected by the end of the night, guessing the correct killer, best actor and best dressed.  It was really fun and I can’t wait till the next party!

On August 11th, Hampton and Richmond wrapped up our sleepover and headed to the beach for the state wide beach day! The day was beautiful (although I’m sure a lot of us got a little burnt by the sun). Many Assemblies came as well as Tidewater Chapter. We played lots of games. One of them you had to carry a small cup of water from the ocean to a bucket, over your head, and race to see which team could fill it up the fastest. Let’s just say a lot of people ended up with more water on their heads that in their pails. During lunch there were raffles with lots of nice prizes and I won a cute water bottle. Then we had our sandcastle building contest. There were a lot of really cool ones and Smithfield won. In between activities, everyone ran into the ocean and swam together. There were girls hoisting other girls up and doing water acrobatics while other girls just floated in the waves. It was a way everyone could have a good time and come together. This event was one for the books!

On Friday, August 10^th, Hampton Assembly #2 held a sleepover in their lodge. Kensley, Lauren, Sara, Alex, Reagan, Audrey and Amelia came from Hampton. Victoria and Lina came from Richmond Assembly for our festivities. We colored pictures, played games, made sandwiches, and baked cookies. The first game we played was the newlywed game, the first round the partners were Alex and Reagan, Lauren and Sara, Audrey and Amelia, Victoria and Lina, last but not least was Mom Kim and Mom Michelle. Reagan and Alex won first place. Our second round the partners were, Sara and Lina, Alex and Victoria, Reagan and Amelia, Lauren and Audrey, last but not least Mom Rosa and Mom Michelle. Alex and Victoria won first place. The next game we played was Sardines which is basically hide and seek, this game was so much fun and I’m so happy we played it with our friends. We baked chocolate chip cookies for lunches the next day and also made ham and turkey and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Everyone laid out their sleeping bags and we all went to bed. Then early in the morning the parents woke up to make the girls breakfast, we had pancakes and lemonade. It was delicious and we thank the parents so much for their help. We then all departed but not for long because we had our beach day right after!
