kids kids and...well...more kids

so this is the fourth week of camp. SO crazy. i can hardly believe i've been here that long!! i've gotten to know my fellow staffers SO well in the past couple weeks, and the kids have been exhausting, but so much fun and so rewarding in so many ways.

the campers we've had have been: 1. middle school 2. jr and sr high 3. elementary and now. middle school again.

i'm still not sure which age group i like best....cuz my first was GREAT but from what i hear apparently very atypical and my second week i only have 3 girls. i'm SO looking forward to sr high week next week, not only cuz i luv high schoolers but also cuz i'll get to see my friend kayla again who was here earlier in the summer for leadership training. my co counselor for the first three weeks was amazing. i LOVE my kelly to DEATH and i'm sad that we had to switch. angela is now my co. she's from texas and she's a riot and we also have a counselor in training with us named monica who is FABULOUS! she's SO great. so hopefully the next three weeks will be just as good as the first.

i've been thoroughly enjoying my time of lately. a bunch of us have off right after morning chapel and we just hop in jared's suburban and take off for....anywhere, really. as long as it's away from camp. if someone needs something we'll stop and pick it up then head back to camp but the best part is the fantastic conversation that takes place in the car. i got to know dan gray and jared really well just cuz of those little escapades to...nowhere...and they're great guys. all of the people on staff here are AMAZING (i can't emphasize that enough) and a highlight so far has really been getting to know them all. i wish that all you guys reading this could come meet them cuz i'm sure you'd all get along great. camp people are awesome like that!

anyways....just wanted to give y'all a little update. since it had been forever! know that i luv you all and i hope all of your summer's are going well. can't wait to see you all....whether sooner of later! lots of luv and hugs to all!
