i'm still here!

Well, tomorrow I have to head home. It's kind of funny that my last day here will be my day off for this week. I'm not even sure that they should have given me one at all, since I'm missing Sabbath anyway. Here are some pics from the last couple of weeks.

Believe it or not, Stephanie and I have gotten out of the office once or twice to take some personal time floating in the ool (notice there is no "p" in it; we'd like to keep it that way). A fight in the shallow end followed shortly after this picture was taken. Grace did a good job documenting it, but you don't need to see all of those pictures. ; )

Fords and Heilmans came to visit last weekend. People kept talking to Jaclyn like she was Stephanie, as usual.

This was the longest I've gone without seeing Jaclyn in a while. I guess I'm going to have to get used to that.

Stephanie was nice enough to take pictures of me barrel racing at the Ranger Rick's Wild West Show & Congress of Rough Riders of the World. The staff member with the fastest time for the summer gets a belt buckle. I think it will be Roxanne. She did really well last night.

from heat to rain

We are having one of the rainiest days I've seen here at camp. I'm not sure we made it out of the 60s today, much to the boat drivers' dismay. I just feel bad for the campers who want to be out in the heat playing in the water. Instead, we have to watch for hypothermia!

I just wanted to post a couple of pictures. I had to finally erase my whole memory card because I filled up except for 10 pictures. So, I have a little under 500 pics on my computer already from the first 1 1/2 weeks of camp!

Taking our staff picture was interesting. We have close to 80 people and had to get a few wagons and horses into the mix too. I hope the "official" pic is really good. Good thing Lucy suggested taking this one at the barn!

Our Internet is kind of iffy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. E-mails aren't going to come very often, I'm afraid. One of our biggest problems is just getting enough computer time to register campers! And we need more campers!

aah! the campers are here!!!

So, it's really hot here at camp. We're in the middle of our registration for Junior I/Sports Camp/Horsemanship Specialty Camp. I hope more campers come or it's going to be a slim week.

Leftovers at lunch didn't help my headache (it's just a theory). Excedrin and a nap (code-named 81) did help, however.

I thought I'd just put the only picture I have of myself here on this site. I've taken around 300 pics so far, and I'm having a great time. I've played 3 rounds of frisbee golf so far and did ok in 2 of them! Hopefully they'll give me a decent handicap and I will actually have fun in the tournaments. First place for the girls should be a category, I think. I haven't gotten in the lake yet, except to go swimming with the horses last Sabbath, which was a blast. Hopefully I'll get out on the boats and do some tubing!!!

camp

I'm here at Nosoca now for the next month. Just wanted to let you all know that I got here. I've already played with a duck and a goose, a filly, and had lots of fun. I'm ready to go to sleep now!
