summer!

so camp has caused my life to be very unpredictable-which includes blogging! this summer i've learned how to: pack and move things with very little notice, enjoy the amazingness of cold showers in hot&humid bathrooms, hold conversations with young children, and enjoy meal time more than any other time of the day. i also learned that acting like a kid in the water is much more acceptable than doing the same things out of the water! this is another counselor and i at the beach-i knew her this summer as bumble-we met the first day of training when we were assigned to stay in the same cabin. this was our first picture together-during my last week working!
during my days off i went downtown to the house i lived in last summer. one saturday we had the typical summer day pasttime-a slip'n'slide! here's a picture from that particular event! there were so many kids there that i didn't know and it was so exciting to see how the Lord is working in that broken area.

another activity that i would take part in was playing disc golf-actually now that i think about it im pretty sure this was the only time i actually got to go play but it was fun, even if we only got to play half a round because we took extra long even though im not sure why! (in the picture its janna, melanie, devin, me, bt, and will)

this next picture we all were SO EXCITED to take! everyone in this picture has lived in the house i lived in last summer (minus a few who weren't at this wedding) and soon more will be moving in that we can add to our family pictures! ok lets see if i can get everybody! wyatt, john, jorge, laura, melanie, me, tyler, janna, jami, devin, clifton, megan, bt, sarah, and will. the missing ones would be shelli, ben, and patrick i think!
