time flies when your haivng fun

The past few days have just been getting better and better. The first few weeks of camp were kind of bumpy but now were getting the hang of things and its going much better! Yesterday we went to this park/ play ground and when we saw it on the list of field trips we didn’t really know what to expect but once we got there we were blown away! There were huge long slides with rollers that you can go down and this amazing ropes course with this tube that you climb up and goes upside down and you go though it! It was really fun we played around on it with the kids but it was super hot above 90 so we had to take a lot of water and shade breaks.
After that we went back to out center and I guess there was a small earth quake that some of the other groups felt but I didn’t feel it because I’m with 5 year olds and they are never still or quite enough to feel that kind of thing.
Anyways today was a pretty normal day went to the pool and that was nice! One down side about our living accommodations is that the only thing we have to cook with is a microwave so its very limited. But today for snack the kids had lasagna and there was a whole pan left over so we got to take it home for dinner! I know its really dumb it its nice having something like that, that we didn’t have to pay for and is baked and not microwave. I really miss my moms cooking and good food …
Another sad thing about living on a military base is that you have to see people come and go.. and we have already had one girl leave camp but we had another one leave today that was really heart breaking because she really has made her mark on all of us staff. I know I have moved a lot in my time but it never gets easier you just learn to deal with it and it breaks my heart seeing these groups of friends being torn apart. They talk about how one will be living on Georgia and one in Florida so they will still visit but when they look at a map I think they think it’s a lot closer than it really is. And then it makes you wonder what kind and how much of an impression do you or will you have on these kids, will they think of you when they think of their summers? Almost daily I think about my camp experiences. I think back to flying horse shoe and Gilead and Malibu all the funny stories I have and people I went with. I loved camp and I just want to make to same memories for these kids.
