Dalanie and I from Manassas Assembly went to the sleepover at St. Tammany Lodge. There were only two other Assemblies that went.  Hampton, which had two girls, Rachel and Olivia, and Fairfax had Zoe, Lorkin, Paige and Kaylie. It was really hot in the Lodge, so we had big fans running to bring down the heat and humidity for the night and the next day. 

During the sleepover, Dalanie, Zoe and I all shared one little air mattress (we also giggled and laughed to make it work somehow) it was very cramped, but we managed! In the morning, everyone slowly got up and got ready. We even stopped at Wawa for some early morning snacks.

On Friday, June 1st, Rainbow had a small bake sale at a Lodge dinner. There were rice crispy treats, cookies, bread and a couple of pies. Unfortunately, I had to leave early, but before I left, Jasmyn sold our first bag of Rice Krispy treats. Luckily, Gigi was there to help fill in for me, from what I heard it was a fun evening.

Rainbow gives you many opportunities to make long lasting memories, as well as long-lasting friends. Out of the many memories I can recall, I’d have to say my first time being apart of an Initiation has to be my favorite. It was a couple weeks after my own Initiation and I had learned the part of Nature. I was so nervous and all I remember was quickly rambling through the whole lecture. After I was done, I was so proud of myself and it made me want to learn to do more. Every time I learn a lecture, I remember my first and it makes me feel good about how far I’ve come!

On June 2nd, Katie, Sami, Gigi, Mom Robin and I piled into the Chevy Malibu and headed down to Hampton at 5:30 in the morning. We stopped along the way to get some yummy Wawa drinks to wake us up. Once we got to Hampton, all of Virginia Rainbow met up and got ready to pick up some trash! All of Rainbow was in the same spot around the edge of the Bay. We found lots of great trash items, for example:  a chair, a ring pop, some crabs, and so much more. It was so much fun to be with all of Virginia Rainbow at the beach and help the beach at the same time!
