I realize that it's only the end of July, and technically summer isn't over yet, but it has been eventful enough thus far I thought it was worthy of sharing.
I spent a majority of my summer working for Camp Paha again, I was with camp part time last summer and then a full 40 hours a week this summer, working with children aged 6-10, all whom were very energetic and challenging in their own ways. My coworkers were amazing and for 7 weeks, it was the 4 of us vs. 9 children, and I am happy to announce, we survived!
Paha is a day camp, which runs Monday to Friday meaning the majority of my summer partying happened over the weekends. Many of those precious days off were spent re-watching Grey's Anatomy (I got my best friend obsessed with it as well) and working on summer homework (not as horrible as it sounds)
Most Friday's of the summer (and the school year) I spend with Mollie and considering her family loves Louise as much as my family does, she comes to sleep over too!
Typically she's not too much of a fan of toys, but she did love the tiger stuffed animal that she discovered at Mollie's house.
She also loves steak night in our house (I'm more of a fan of the corn on the cob because I still don't eat red meat). None the less, she loves carrying around t-bones.
Outside of obsessing over the extreme doggy cuteness that I cohabit with, I also have gotten really good at Sunday morning breakfasts.
The left picture is one of my favorite coffee shops called the French Press (I believe I have mentioned it before) where a group of coworkers and I got breakfast. I got an omelet with spinach and little potato wedges on the side, as well as my very artsy carmello.
The right image is from my mom's birthday where my sisters and I spent the whole morning decorating (destroying) the kitchen with balloons (some with confetti) and paper streamers. When mom finally woke up there was a very large pile of waffles, accompanied by bacon (and turkey bacon) and scrambled eggs.
Last year, the weekend after camp ended we went up to Glenwood Springs to swim in the hot springs and hike up to hanging lake. So this year we visited the Mount Princeton hot springs (near Fairplay). They had 3 different pool areas, one with a waterslide, and just like the name, there was very hot water!
The mountains surrounding the pools were very very pretty, and the peaks were hiding within the clouds part of the time.
The rest of the summer will be spent doing color guard and school shopping and the preparing for my very busy Junior year!
Till next time,
Bekka
