Wow...it's been awhile since I updated this blog! :D

 Ok, I don't really feel like putting these pictures in the order that I want, so I'm just going to write below each picture. :D  I'll explain this first picture.  The staff was going mini golfing tonight and so Anna (pictured above), had this great idea that we dress crazy tonight.  Pastor Randy said there was no specific theme and we could wear whatever.  :D  hehe.  Everyone else was so jealous that they didn't get the memo.  Jenny looked crazy too but she didn't get in the picture.  You can't really see my awesome earrings or crazy hair very well in this pic but that's ok.
This was my hairstyle from "Dress your counselor night" at rally time.  It was very painful!  The girl that did my hair pulled it really tight in the buns!


I was trying to do a "first day at camp" vs. "now" pic to show how burnt I have been getting, but it doesn't show up very well in this picture.  Oh well :D

This is my cabin from this past week!  The two girls on the back left and the girl front left with the pink were all in my cabin for the inner city week as well.  

This was Lea's first week at camp!  She had a lot of fun and she hopes she can come back for Junior III.  She got saved the day before she came to camp!

Here I am with Julia and Arrianna working on memory verses. :D

This was taken Monday, and for some reason I was already exhausted by Tuesday morning!

Through this one picture you can get a glimpse of what rally time is like!  There is a theme for each night...i.e. "dress your counselor night", "team color night", etc.  I am on the NAVY SEALS team, btw.  :D

This was taken Wednesday night, Fantastic Fun Night!  Where they skip rally time and after the service they have skits then feed our campers orange floats then make us put them to bed!   :D  The kids enjoy it, but we don't care so much for the sugar right before bed!

After rally time the blue team gathers around the blue stump and the red team at the red stump and we work on our cheers.  The team leaders, Saj and Jen (for the Navy) lead the cheers and encourage the kids in cabin clean up, verses, cabin challenges, etc.  This was not a happy night because we just found out that Army won for the week.  Saj did a good job though, he cheered them up and did a few last cheers.

REALLY burnt after two days in the sun ALL DAY.  It was also about 100 degrees.  VERY HOT!

YAY!  It's Saturday!  On the way to the store with Jenny, Anna, Joshy and John! :D

I took this pic of the sunset on Thursday night.  It was really pretty!  I'm standing right outside my cabin.



TUBING!  Love it.  I only get to go if a kid wants to go with me, which has been every week.  I enjoy the ones that want to go slow, but it's also nice once in awhile to go with someone that wants to go fast and crazy!

Well, that was very random and short, but I don't have time for anything else right now!  Love and miss you all!

Week Two!

Well, I realized that I didn't take any pictures on my camera this week.  I took a few on my phone so I will upload one of those so this post is not completely boring! :D



On Friday night I got to go babysit the Malmanger's kids.  They have Drew, Karen, Ellen, Lucy, and Lindsey.  Lucy and Lindsey are two year old twins.  They have curly blonde hair and are so cute!  They have a black lab and 5 four-week-old puppies.  The puppies were really cute too!  It had an interesting experience that night, but I don't have time to tell all about it now.  Maybe next week.




Saturday night we had "bowling and blizzrads".  We were supposed to dress up like hillbillies or rednecks.....it ended up being "just try to wear clashing clothes"...but it was fun.

Well, I can't get to my computer so I stole someone else's and they need it back so I need to go.  I'll try to write more next week.  Inner city kids coming Wednesday!!!

I'm here!

Praise the Lord for an uneventful trip the rest of the way to camp!  I left Paula's house at 4:00am (3 camp time) and got to camp about 10:30.  Got all settled into my cabin then the program director told me I should go take a nap.  I didn't argue.  I am very thankful that my parents got me this nice big fan for my cabin this summer!
Every morning we meet at the fire pit for a brief meeting then we split up for our personal devotion time.

Here we are this morning half asleep, and we even got to sleep in an hour this morning!  We normally meet at 7:15, but this morning they said we were meeting at 8:15.  Some people looked more tired this morning than all week!  I got up at 6:30 and went walking with Jenny then went back to her cabin to snuggle with my boys!  John was a sleepy head and being snuggly, yay!  :D

Not the best pics of me!  The boys were sleepy and so was Auntie Elisabeth!  :D  It was worth getting up early though!
Here is a picture of my devotion spot;

Looking right out at the lake!  It's a great spot!
We had a campfire last night after the message and we shared our salvation testimonies.  It was a great time of sharing what God had done in our lives.


Jacob came over and sat with me.  He shared his testimony and it was so precious!

Here is my friend Allison.

This is Brittany.

This is the pumpkin patch that I got to plant with a few other girls on Thrusday.

Well, the girls group is getting ready to practice and I have to play for them so I must go.

Sunday, May 29th

Had a good day today with Sarah and Jullian!  Got some sunburn playing volleyball and sitting outside to eat.
I hope to be pulling out of here about 6 tomorrow.  If you think about it please pray for safety traveling.  I don't want to fall asleep!

I'm in Tennessee!

I made it safely to Sarah's house in Tennessee!  We are going to have a great weekend!  She has this cute little rabbit that her boyfriend caught, his name is Thumber...he is so tiny!
We are going to go eat some BBQ now!  Yum!

I will be in Chetek on Tuesday! :D

First post.....

Well, I'm not actually at Camp Chetek yet...but I decided to go ahead and post just for fun.  :D  Sorry, but I don't really have any pictures for this post.  Oh wait.....

There we go!  A nice picture for my first post.  :D  These are the Gentrys.  Justin, Jenny, Jacob, Joshua, and John.  There are awesome!  Jenny is my bestie. <3  I get to work with them at camp this summer and I can't wait!

Well, it is 1:30 am and my red bull is finally wearing off so I should try to sleep now.  :D
