Week 2
Okay so week 2 has passed. It went by with a lot more ease. I kinda know what is going on now. BUT this coming week is rainbow week, which is kids from the inner city Chicago that come here for free. It is going to be a lot different from the usualy type of campers!! BUT IT WILL BE AWESOME!!!! so yeah. It is awesome. The getting up early is getting easier. I think I might have caught up from Spain already. It was a hott week this week making all camp games hard. Running after this group of kids. I think they put all the super fast kids in the same group. It is a good workout to chase these kids at least twice a day. Polar Bearing was amazing this week though. It was so hott and humid that the lake felt nice in the morning. Everyone went every single day. So I love the kids here. It's a lot of work but it's super rewarding.

What Have I Gotten Myself Into?
Alright, so the first week of camp has gotten over and I am exhausted. WOW!! I didn't realized that I would be sleeping this summer. haha. (I really do just not much) I get up at like 6:30 every morning and have to be happy ( and if you know me I am not a morning person) in order to go dunk myself into the 50 degree Lake Michigan. yeah!! EVERY MORNING. except when campers are not here of course. Then our days are completely packed until we put the kids to be and get some last minute stuff done and then we ourselves get to finally go to sleep. Every day I don't know where the energy is coming from but it is God saying alright you can do this. so we do it again. It is so much fun though. and I enjoy hanging out with the girls. I had the most well-behaved group this week and I was grateful for that. And these girls ask the hardest questions. WOW!! I love it though!!

Orientation Week
so I just got done with orientation week at Camp Geneva in Holland, Michigan. It has been good and I am ready for the campers to come which is tomorrow!!! I have met tons of cool people there are 80 college students working here this summer. It is pretty spiffy here. One day we got try out the challenge stuff. It was so much fun. WE have something called the island. It is only for the middle school students so I will not be using them this summer. BUT there is the tower. a rope net that you climb to a lookout over the little pond and the camp. Then there is the zip line. Which glides right into the water. AND my favorite the blob. You sit on one end in a crouched position and wait for someone to come jump on the other end and send you flying. I aksed someone who is about 130lbs bigger than me to blob me. I went so high!!! I loved it but it was a stinger when I landed haha. I am so pumped for this summer.
