End of the summer

Well the summer is over.  My adventure of a second summer at Wisconsin Badger Camp is over.  I'm still in shock, even though it's been most of four days since I left camp.  So what have I been up to since the end of the summer at camp?

The last group of campers left on the 16th.  After they left, we began final work projects and got quite a bit done.  Having finished for the night, we all had time to change clothes before going to our staff banquet, watched the slideshow and gave our final gifts.  It was nice to have some time with the staff to relax, talk and enjoy simple things.

On the 17th, we finished our work projects, got our final pay checks, and said our goodbyes.  It was then that my Mom and I left camp together.  Throughout the drive home I told some of my favorite stories.

Having arrived at home, I couldn't believe that I was home after being gone for a little more than two months.  I was ready to adjust to "normal" life again.  My parents were glad to see me.  I had realized that I missed home when I got home.  I am now readjusted to real life, and enjoying being able to cook something every day.

Kids Week!

Kids week was a great experience!  I loved my group of three lovely ladies.  It was fun getting to cuddle with them each night before bed, and tell them bedtime stories.  The fact that they enjoyed the stories I told them each night meant success.

Probably my favorite part of the week was going camping with the girls.  Because we were at out camp-the farthest campsite from the main part of camp-and the act that there was a lot of open space, the girls and the rest of the campers enjoyed spending time running around and enjoying themselves.  One of my campers made a book out of the paper and crayons that I brought with me, which they read in the tent before bedtime.

I am now sitting in Eagle watching Alice in Wonderland with another member of this summer's staff.  I am trying to enjoy this last weekend here at camp while it lasts.  I know that it will not be long enough.  I also know that this next week is going to fly by.
