field trip day! we went and saw 'How to Train Your Dragon'
kind of a silly movie, but hey, i got paid to go see it.

my 'mini me' begged and pleaded for me to make her matching ankle bracelets like mine
so we are all matchy matchy now, and she though it was the coolest thing ever
(shhhh dont tell the others shes my fav)

some random lady in the park brought us a bag of pretzels 
cause she thought the 5 kids we had left at that time might be hungry
ahhhh so funny.

watched GG when i got home

printed off camp pictures for our poster

a killer deal on 2 pairs of pants, and some awesome roxy shoes
gotta love savers :P

saw a wicked cool sunset...but didnt get pictures :(

rented when in rome...hahaha
its such a stupid movie,
but i kind of sort of love it!

now off to sleep!
happy tuesday!

today was blistering hot
so we did everything imaginable to avoid the heat
...which is hard to do when you are stationed in a park for 8+ hours a day...
but we played koob
lots of quiet ball
made friendship bracelets
colored pictures and did crossword puzzles
and made sidewalk chalk art

tomorrow we are going to the moviessssssss
i also watched did you meet the morgan's for the first time
and the only reason i liked it was because everything is funnier in an english accent
so thank you hugh grant for saving that movie,
and also, for this song. which i like. a lot.

and this:
 i very much approved of today :)

also had the greatest conversation with one of my campers...his name is jonathan, he is 7, but the first day he introduced himself as Johnny Appleseed...so that is what we call him :)

me: 'hey johnny appleseed, can i eat lunch with you?'
johnny appleseed: 'ya, ok'
me: 'what did you bring for lunch today'
johnny appleseed: 'a PB&J sandwich'
me: 'oh i bet its apple jam, since you are Johnny Appleseed'
johnny appleseed: 'no, not today'
me: 'oh darn maybe tomorrow'
johnny appleseed: 'ya maybe, but this is really good raspberry jam that my mom made, so i might eat this for a while. i will bring you some if you want cause its good'
me: 'guess what johnny appleseed, you are my new hero. im serious. im even going to tell my family that johnny appleseed is my hero.'
johnny appleseed: 'really? like the me johnny appleseed, or the one that died in the 80s?'
me: 'died in the 80s? ha johnny appleseed didnt die in the 80s'
johnny appleseed: 'oh you are right, it was the hundred and forties'

oh my gosh. i love working with kids. they never cease to crack me up :)

today was a good day.
semi stressful and scary at times (we had a dive and rescue for one of my 6 year olds at the pool today :( eek)
but over all it was a good day:

today was a swim day.
swimming makes me happy :)
and im looking rather lobster-ish and i love it
weird, yes, but i always kind of enjoy getting sunburned
mainly because by the time i wake up it will most likely have already turned into a tan (love my skin)
but also because its almost cliche to that of summertime.
and i love summertime.
ha. i know...im strange.

today was also lovely because my dear sweet bosom friend sara ence got her mission call!
to the one and only calgary, canada.
couldnt be happier for the girl.
she will do great things.
love her :)
