Quick Side Trip

Some friends from NYC / BU were up visiting Burlington for the weekend. I went up there and took them to my favorite swimming hole.

White Boarding

Mister Potter: The Movie!

The theme for dinner dress-up last night was Harry Potter. This is what I wore:

One camper asked me if he could have it. I signed the back and gave it to him.

Fire Safety

The following fire safety instructions are posted in my dorm:

Every single camper has taken a picture of the sign.

Here Comes The Partly Sunny

The last few days have been cold, cloudy, and, more often than not, rainy. That made everyone pretty excited today when the sun decided to come out and the temperature decided to jump into the low 90s.

That excitement disappeared pretty much as soon as the water pumps in town stopped working leaving us without water to drink, bathe with, or flush toilets with for all of today. Supposedly it will all be fixed by tonight, but we already have some stinky bathrooms and stinky campers.

I had the afternoon off, so I went swimming in the lake with the rope swing.

Wrap and Reveal

Wrap.

Reveal.

Applause.

Oh, Camera...

The batteries my for camera still have not arrived. I am beginning to suspect a conspiracy initiated by some rival circus camp.

In the meantime, we took all the campers to see the touring show yesterday. One of the tour members recognized me as his counselor from 2001. Apparently twenty four is much older than I thought.

More Than Meets The Eye

Apologies for the lack of posts over the last few days. Pretty much all of my waking time was spent thinking about / waiting for 8:15pm Tuesday, July 3rd. That is when I saw Michael Bay's Transformers. It is, in a word, awesome.

However, it is also missing an appearance by Hot Rod, my boyhood idol. Luckily I just ordered my DVD of Transformers: The Movie!

In camp news, we are a few days into the first two week session of the summer and besides a little vomiting in the tents and a little pants wetting during the evening activities, it's been a great start. The batteries for my camera should be arriving shortly, so prepare yourself for the forthcoming photographic onslaught.

Now all we need is a little energon and a lot of luck. Autobots, transform and roll out.
