isoCAMP Desert Oasis (although it's not quite the desert in Hemet) was quite the experience. I love being at Paradise Valley Ranch because it's such a tranquil place. Despite the fact that it's 100+ degrees outside, I thoroughly enjoy the absence of too much technology and more face to face social contact. Our lip sync contests, performances, karaoke and mafia game were quite the successes. I am glad that we had a group of the "quieter" ones up too since we could try and get them out of their shell. We're not done yet, but soon, we'll try to make them blossom into more social butterflies :) I guess Ninja helped the cause.
Our beach day at Manhattan Beach was definitely a way to cool off from the heat of Hemet. Although obviously exhausted, the team (about 30 strong) braved the giant sand hill and then enjoy a few games of beach volleyball after taking a dip in the cool water on one of the cleanest beaches around :)
Look at the picture "B'LOW ME" :) ... a quote from the wonderful play Spamalot modeled after Monty Python and the Holy Grail. After my open Facebook/AIM invitation, I had three takers for the play which was super funny all the way through! Before we headed to the play, we caught a bite at the yellowfied, the Standard Restaurant in Downtown. The food was okay, but eating in a yellow restaurant was a dream come true :) Oh, but the sorbet was delicious! I would have gone crazy if I didn't figure out what it tasted like, but Watermelon Now and Later ... yum! Thanks OC :)
After the play, I challenged the water of the fountain near the Ahmanson Theater. I eventually maneuvered my way through the fountain with minimal soakage :) It would have been quite the shame to get my clothes all wet and drive home like that, but I guess I don't have to worry since I made it through alright!
After my attempts to guide the cockroach towards the shriekers, we headed back to the car to head back to Koreatown ... I mean, Cerritos :)
