What better place to be at a summer camp?!? My bedroom window has an amazing view of pikes peak and there is no humidity! I see all the posts on facebook of friends back east complaining about the insane heat and I feel slightly bad. I am closer to the sun too which makes me actually have to put on suncreen. I have never really worn sunscreen before because I don't ever really burn I just tan. (I thank my Italian heritage for the darker skin tone) But closer to the sun up here...it does not really matter. I already have a really good tan on my shoulders and my nose. I feel like the stereotypical lifeguard when I put a huge amount of white sunscreen on my nose to start the day.
Days off have been the best too! The other day I spent the morning on top of Soldier's Mountain. Hiked to the top and got a chance to tan :) and just relax. Everyone else was still working so I had some great God time on top of the mountain. Called a few people and got to sing and no one could hear me :) I got reprimanded by my mom, grandmother, and great aunt by going by myself but it was really nice to get away. Here are some pics I took at the top.
Later that day a bunch of the staff went into Manitou Springs, which is a little town about 20 min away, and got a chance to walk around and explore all the little shops and meet some new friends and take some fun pictures! We ended the night at the penny arcade and had a blast!! I do not have to save quarters anymore for laundry at college (because I graduated a month ago) so all the coins I had went into the various games (mostly skee-ball)
And now back to work. Young Life has been here the past month and this week is there last week here at camp. The campers have been great! It is fun to have some people around camp. They are quite entertaining and I have gotten a chance to talk to a bunch of them. Tonight we have the ho down for dinner and everyone gets to dress up all western and do some two steppin' and two weeks ago I got to teach everyone how to do the cotton eye joe. And I am from New Jersey! Well off to lunch soon then to the pool to continue on my tan :)
