Here's the thing about working at camp. You constantly get to live the dream. Where else can you wake up and get 10 15-year-old girls out the door at 7:45 am all while getting them really pumped up to sing a ridiculously loud song at flagpole? Where else do campers run to the doors outside of the dining hall to try to hold the door for everyone because they really really want to be third? I love waking up in Teton cabin and being with my girls. Camp has flown by so far. My camera cord in in Kansas so I have no way of getting my pictures on my computer, but here is an overview of the summer so far.

There was a rumor going around that 2011 was going to be the best summer ever. So far, that rumor is turing out to be true. So here's to more creativity, relationship building, heart sharing, and just plain old fun that will be coming our way in 2011.
