a tasty treat...

this one is for all the fans... by request only... the famous tuna melts have made their way onto my blog... don't worry- we only eat these on "no food service" days.

yum, yum!

hey cara... don't worry, i put extra horseradish on them,

just for you!!

bye,bye cara...

well, i am sad to say- cara is leaving today... i will try to capture as many photos of her that i can. she has been a wonderful roommate- even though there is a sophomore between us. it must be the "aries"!!! TUNA MELTS FOREVER

good luck in college cara!

SB is here- but as we all know, she spends most of her time working-

this one is called...

"friend with computer..."

the time has come...

well folks... here we are- the rain has come, summer is over, cara is leaving to go to college and get smart... and i will be here at camp- alone- with no one but the donkeys to talk to. so be prepared this next week to see the final days of anami and cara... starting with this gem i call...

"run/ walk in the rain"

camp work...

so, yes it is true... i actually do work here at camp- and not just lifeguarding! this week i was visited by a couple friends and we went on an adventure that i like to call "crap be gone"...

basically we went through camp looking for things that needed to be recycled or donated- pretty sweet!.. so we cruzed hwy 101 and dropped stuff off along the way. thrift stores, recycle centers, grade schools...

...and ended up at SEASIDE!! amazing how that happens... so,

after a few ice cream cones, some unnecessary beach trinkets, and a walk through the scariest candy store of all time... our mission was complete!! thanks amy, cara, and morgan! come back to visit anytime!

switch-a-roo

well, that didn't last long... the warm weather is gone- and as i look out on the lake, i remember how it feels to jump in at 6:30am for polar bear... hmmm, but as for me i stand on the dock with a hot cup of coffee... and really? who am i kidding... in i go! would you expect any less?

oh yeah... here is my foot. i had an unfortunate incident with a marble- the marble won. So that means that i get catch up on emails and office work- boo no!!

could it get hotter?

hi friends... it is still really hot for the oregon coast... women are wearing bikinis on the beach, babies are running around naked... city dudes are trying to boogie board in the crazy oregon waves... cara and i are walking on the beach laughing at the whole thing while wondering if somehow we were transported to some bazaaro world "CAMP HOT"
so, now i'm off to tillamook to get a passport that will hopefully get here in time for me to leave to visit justin down under! i can't wait!
PEACE!

hellllooooo!

This is a great! Now I get to be at camp even though I am half way around the world...thank you so much.

I will write more later, and share some great pictures!

love, justin

hot, hot, hot!!!

so it is supposed to be 90 degrees on the oregon coast today- please disregard all entries that state that summer is almost over!!! Spent some time today taking 6th graders wave jumping- AMAZING!! Then remembered my poor garden- yikes! So, i go to water it before the heat wave sinks in... and what do i see? that is correct- the cherry tomatoes made it through!!! so here they are... the tomatoes that could :)

rocker chic!

so, i have just returned from 7 hours on the dock...

and to my surprise...

i find a super cool girl with a pink guitar!!

what more could i ask for-

CARA YOU ROCK!!

Lifeguards are AMAZING!!!

Today is one of those BEAUTIFUL end of summer days... the sun is shining, not too hot, not too cold... perfect... which is a good thing because as i look at my schedule for the day it appears that i will be guarding for boating from 12noon to 7p straight... this causes me concern for a couple of reasons... but never fear- the incredible Cara has promised to check in with me and bring me water and snacks from her snack drawer throughout the day. THANK YOU CARA!!! And yes, SB i will remember to wear sunscreen- yikes!

oh my it seems that the summer staff have lost their paddle... wait... they lost their sail- something "fishy" is going on... leave it to the summer staff to play such a prank... but oh no, i wont go rescue them... i'll just stay on the dock and take photos. I miss them already! love you guys!!!

hello my friends

As the last of the summer staff prepare to leave... i realize that i will have to amuse myself for the next 3 1/2 months before i jet away to australia to visit my friend justin. So, this evening i set off to guard for some boating adventures, will feed some donkeys, and will get to see an amazing sunset... hmmmm amusing myself wont be so difficult. PEACE!

camp adventures

here are some of the fun things we like to do when we aren't working... (no summer staff were injured during the creation of these photos)

working hard and playing hard... that is thier motto!!

but when it comes down to it...

it's all about the campers!!

summer 2007

my life at camp begins... farewell to the city life, goodbye lowrise jeans and polar fleece hoodies, see you late crowded shopping mall at Christmas... the summer is almost over and suddenly I remember that it gets cold at the Oregon Coast in the winter. But I don't care because I get to live at camp!! More to come... stay tuned.
