"Smashing things is so much fun!" cheered Jorge as he mushed a bowl full of blueberries with a wooden spoon.

"You bet bro" agreed Griff, as he cut up one of the baskets of lemons the group had brought back from their outing.

"I'm just excited to finally have something good to eat" muttered Joy as he rolled out the pie dough.

"Yeah, this strawberry pie and blueberry lemonade will be a nice change from Murphy's normal offerings" laughed Ravi. The young man was in charge of mixing up the pie filling. "How's that crust coming Joey?"

"Almost ready boss"

"We found the perfect pitcher for the lemonade!" celebrated Xander, as he and Mick joined the rest of his cabin in the mess hall kitchen. "Had to dig through a bunch of stuff in Gladys' office storage but this container should be big enough".

Ravi gestured to an open space on the counter, "You can put it down there. The boys are almost ready to mix it all up".

"Great teamwork Grizzlys. I'm going to grab the ice and sugar then we can get to mixing".

With his fruit mixture finished, Ravi shifted gears to help Joey finish the pie crust. Joey proudly poured the pie filling into the dish and laid the top crust firmly in place.

"Do you want to cut a design into it?" offered Ravi

"Huh?"

"I've seen all the cool drawings you've done in arts and crafts and your notebook. Why don't you give it a shot!" encouraged the counselor.

"Ok..." agreed Joey with a small grin. He took the offered pairing knife and carefully carved a lightning bolt into the center of the pie.

"That looks awesome mate" commented Mick as he and Griff juiced the remaining lemons. "Why'd you pick a lightning bolt?"

"It's the symbol of my favorite comic book and show, Voltage," shared the boy.

"Isn't that the one your sister stars in?" asked Jorge.

"Yeah, Liv plays SkyVolt, a teenage girl with lightning powers. She was so happy they were on a break from filming for the summer so that she could come to camp with me and my siblings".

"Well our pie is going to be electric," joked Ravi.

The gathered boys all groaned at his bad pun.

"Oven is preheated so let's pop this sucker in there and get it cooking" grinned Xander.

"Lemons are ready to go chief" grinned Griff, saluting Xander.

"Perfect. Jorge, fill up three of those measuring cups with water please. Griff put the lemons on top of the ice cubes"

The boys followed directions, quickly following their counselor's directions. Mick measured out the cups of sugar that they needed to sweeten their lemonade. Xander strained the blueberries that Jorge had mashed and added the homemade compote to the container. The final step was to add the water and lemon juice and give it a good stir.

"Yoo! This looks so good!" cheered Griff as Ravi poured glasses of fresh lemonade for each of the boys.

"Drink up lads. Here's to a super sweet summer" cheered Ravi as he raised his glass.
