HOLA!!!!!!
hola!!
how are you all? well it is currently 12:30 pm an i am up doin the late shift, burning all the rad camp cds! is a very long as slow process which i have to baby sit alot so i thought, why not write up a blog?! so here it is!!
well its almost the end of tween, an only 2 weeks left of camp! :( can't believe how fast everything has gone! made so many friends, an had such an awesome time! dont know how im going to be able to leave!
made some really good friends this camp with some of the campers. only in the last few days though, so its sad that i didnt get to know them for longer, but ashley is going to come back an visit and shaggy (i dont know his real name) is staying for the rest of the summer doing rad camps, so that should be interesting an alot of fun!!!!
we had a kiwi at camps this week!! he was on the skater rad camp. but mate it was so good to hear the accent!!!! after hearing everyone talking funny, it was very nice to hear something remotely normal!!!
went for a horse ride today. go most sat mornings is the only time that staff get to go riding. we do get to go wakeboarding as skiing during lunch on most days as well. so they do look after us here! was alot of fun! the activity that i did was the trailhead to fish hatchery, which is a very beautiful hike! follows a georgous river the whole way! really want to go to sahalie falls though sometime! they are SOOO beautiful! ill put up some pics when i do go!
well i hope all are well. im really tired and cant think straight, so i cant remember if their is anything interesting to add. so ill just upload some photos for yall to have a peek at!
luv your lella!

the exciting news for this week was that i got a break from photography and was a wrangler for the week!!! because their was a horse pack trip rad camp going on they needed more people to go up in the horse corral, so i got choosen! was alot of fun, have really really bad tan lines now from being in the sun all day! everyone here took the liberty on finding something new to tease me about, an told me all week that i smelt funny!
but i am now back to being the camp photographer as the week is over an the all the adventure campers have gone home, an only the high desert waterski trip an the horse pack trip rad campers are here. also alot of staff have gone to camp meeting (which is alot like easter camp) to promote big lake, so the place is stangely quiet, an dead! but the break should be nice an lots of fun!
hope that yall are well. cant believe that the summer is almost over! it goes so very very quickly!
love you all lots an lots!

had my day off yesterday. was so much fun! went into town with christina, christina an shanda. just had a girls day out, shopping, coffee, dinner an just having a good time! was the best time! (my day off is still goin...i dont have to be anywhere till 9 so i just thought that id write a blog up for yall before goin for a run. im telling you, i really need to stop eating baker johns food otherwise ill blow up like a balloon!!! hehe
im really really loving it here...everyone is just so so nice, and theirs somthing else here that is so cool that everyone has, like a purpose to everything, an a reason for being. and the fact that we are all here for one specific reason is just so awesome. the kids are really really lucky to have a staff team like this!
well id better run! (literally!) so that my clothes will actually fit me! hehe,
luv you all lots an lots, an hope that you all have a great time!
