Soul Stirring

We've been through two weeks worth of campers.  Week 1 kids were fantastic.  No big problems besides one sassy girl, but I grew to love her since she stayed for two weeks.  Week 2 kids on the other hand were not fun.  They asked too many questions and were awkward to the point of exhaustion.  Here are some highlights from the last two weeks. Get ready for some randomocity.

I've seen numerous kids bite the dust during Mud Hikes and almost get attacked by a raccoon.  I have two fantastic partners that make me laugh ALL the time, even when it isn't appropriate. On my last night off I got to share the world's best firefly show with several new counselors. I slept on the Suspension Bridge even though that's been one of my worst fears since I was eight.  Conquered a Float Trip through the pouring rains and almost lightening strikes in metal canoes with twenty campers in tow.  I witnessed some amazing young woman change from quiet girls into beautiful lionesses.  Took my cabin of five to a very special Pop Stop on the Suspension Bridge where we saw a fish catch a dragonfly.  Even though I am terribly exhausted, I must say that I feel so content. 

This summer so far has blown past like a tornado. I don't think that I have ever laughed so frequently in my life.  They aren't five second laughs either.  All of them have been those gut wrenching soul loving kind of laughs. It's amazing what a few weeks at Camp T. can do to your heart :)
