HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!



THE ROOMIE'S BIRTHDAY BASH 
by Brindley, Kandice, and Autumn
Kandice and Brindley just happened to be in the same cabin and just happened to be born on the same day.  They were both feeling that their birthday wouldn't be so special because of being so far away from home and from family and friends but to their SURPRISE, CCSP birthdays are no joke.  Kandice and Brindley both agreed that there was no better way to celebrate their 20th and 21st birthdays than in Belize with their CCSP family.  The day started with the two girls being woken up to a serenade by the whole group and given a donut and candles to make their first wish together.  This made them both feel at home since it had been a family tradition.  That was just the beginning...
The birthday girls' day was filled with interesting animals at the Belize Zoo and plenty of birthday hugs and wishes from everyone they were with.  The excitement continued at dinner time when each girl was presented with their own personalized cake made with love, of course.  CCSP cuts no corners when it comes to birthdays.  Two birthdays means two cakes.  Just when they thought the celebration was over, they walked into a SURPRISE decorated veranda by the best SLC's ever, Pete and Gretchen.  The birthday bash started with challenges of flexibility and endurance with our very own, original, and unique game of Belizean Twister.  Each birthday girl had their time to shine in a game of psychiatrist where the acting skills of the CCSP (BELIZE) staff and students were revealed.  Their musical talent was also shown when three groups--the girls, the boys, and the staff--made up original singing and dancing routines focused on how great Kandice and Brindley are.  The staff broke it down fresh with the hippest rap eva!  The night finished off with an intense dance party where everyone let loose and had their time to shine.  Kandice and Brindley both agree this could possibly be the best birthday ever.
