All is fine in CSC again! I had the past Sunday off because I didn't have overnight campers. So me and Cuda decided that it is a good idea to walk downtown Hudson in 95F+ humid weather! Well it wasn't the greatest after all...It took us 4 hours to get there and back and we were sprinting our way back to make it to dinner. Oh wow, never again.
On Monday I started at the Day Croix, which is on the same property but just like half a mile away. The kids come only for the day and spent the nights back at home. I got  a pretty well behaved group, but it wasstill exhausting becuase I didn't know any of the daily routines. I figured them out though and don't have a co-counselor anymore. We do lot of the same activities as overnight but also lot is different. Day Croix is also way more relaxed, the couselors don't have to do as much since the kids have lot of freetime to just play aroud, becuase the kids are kind of in a daycare and not at camp. The counselors don't  really know any skits or not that many songs, so I'm like a star there now! :D I also get to have a walkie-talkie, I feel so important!
I walk back to the res camp at dinner time and after that I've been covering for solo counselors, so that they get some breaks. It's nice, cause that way I get to know some of the campers that are around. I also had the best devos with one cabin group the other night. They were telling me how much the camp has changed their lives, made me so happy cause that is excatly why the camp is running! It was pretty tireing to not have any breaks for few days though. On Wednesday I finally got a night off, which was sweet!
I really liked Day Croix, but res camp is way better! I hope that next week I get an awesome group, maybe a trail. There are some amazing trails this week, a horse trail and climbing trail which are 5 days!! So jealous for those people!!!!

I feel like the most ridiculous car incidents keep happening to me here. Two weeks ago I went to a store with few of my frineds and when we got out the driver coudln't find her keys. SO we went back inside and traced our footsteps. We walk through the whole store and asked all the workers to if someone had found them. No. Well then we decided to see if they are inside the car. The car alarm went off when we opened the door. The keys were not inside there and now we looked like some criminals on top of that. We were almost freaking out cause we had like half an hour to make it back to the camp. At the end we found the keys from teh store and made it back to the camp safely.
Then this week we had our night off and we went to the town. We decided to take Mufasa's car which is the most amazing piece of s*it ever. It cost him 300$ and it sounds like it's breaking down. None of the windows roll up or down, some of thedoors are not working etc (I should take a picture of that, no one can understand unless tehy see it). So first one of the windows fell in all the way, then we were trying to fix it (while the car was still moving) and some other parts just fell off. At that point I was about to pee in my pants, it was hilarious. On our way back to the camp the battery died while we were driving, so me, Crisscross and Belly jumped out of the moving car and started pushing it. Epic. No one at the gas station where we pushed it had jump capels, so we just had to leave the car there and get a ride back to the camp to watch our kids! I hope the car is ok, cause it's my favorite car ever! Plus I wanna do something this weekend!
