Add Waitress To The Resume

After a week full of campers and countless kitchen duties we headed out Friday night to dinner. We get to the restaurant and see the owner through the kitchen window. My mom proceeds to go to the window to say hi (we love to harass the kid). He tells my mom they are swamped and jokingly says we should waitress for him. After going into the restaurant and seeing people waiting to be seated and waiting to be served we actually did help him out. My mom started seating people, Katie and I started busing a table and then Lauren and Brandy jumped in. We did it all from seating people to drinks to orders and rolling silverware. We helped for a little over an hour and then finally ate dinner ourselves. Honestly it was fun and very entertaining.

Snowbird Waterfall

Yesterday we went out on the trail for a day hike with Bethel. All together we hiked 8 miles. We went 4 miles back into Snowbird to a waterfall. Our plan was to hiked to one fall and then find another one we had come across last summer. However we made the call not to find the other falls when we got to the first one. We ate lunch and then headed upstream from the falls. I was with David and some campers as we reached a bend in the creek, and what do you know but there was the other waterfall. It was so sweet. There is a rock you can jump off of and you can shimmy yourself under the waterfall and jump out in the middle. We had such a blast. the campers even jumped in and went under the waterfall and just enjoyed the freezing water. It was fabulous to be back out on the trail. Well more to come because a lot is running through my brain. 

Bethel Baptist

Yeah a lot has happened in the last 8 days and I promise that by sunday I will have more posts with the happenings of my 4th and the other adventures. However I want to tell you what is going on right now. We have a group of from Bethel Baptist (Pink Hill, NC) here until friday. They have been a great group and have worked so hard. We painted the mess hall on monday and yesterday did yard work for 5 widows from our church. It's amazing how much they have been able to get done. Now today they are clearing some trails and then it's off to whitewater rafting. Oh Yeah!! Tomorrow we will go on a day hike and then friday they will go through the high ropes. Oh how I love camp life!! It's crazy and long but so much fun. Plus this week we have been doing skits and games. Holy cow this staff is insane. The pic above is from Monday mornings skit. PRICELESS!! I laughed and laughed and am still laughing!! Tomorrow nights should be just as good so check back for those pics soon.

Camp Chaos

Last week a wonderful array of sickness ran throughout the camp staff kids. Some with Strep some with Laryngitis it was crazy. Liz came in on Wednesday and stayed until friday. It was sweet to see her and on top of that friday I followed her to Chattanooga to spend some time with her family. Only sad day I woke up and we went to the minute clinic to find out that I had Strep. It was amazing, not!! So I slept in the car between all our adventures. Plus saturday morning I looked down at my Chacos and the front of them are coming undone. Again not such a great start to a day. However it still was fun and I got a very nice dinner from Mrs. Carol on top of Boston Cream Pie!! Yeah she spoils us!! 

Back to life at camp this week and full steam ahead. This week is all about finishing everything and prepare for the next four weeks. The days are crazy from cleaning to putting booklets together to learning skits that I'm sure will be quit entertaining. Yes the month of July should be pretty full and I bet before I know it I will be saying wow I can't believe it's August. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods!!
