The Storm

Hey guys, their are a few things i missed out on my blog that i should tell you, I thaught id already posted them but I actually sent a letter with it all in.

On the friday that has just gone their was a massive storm that rolled in, the lake just turned a deep black and you could see teh rain moving across teh lake towards us, the emergency air horn sounded and all us councilers had to gather our kids in teh cabins, just as we got inside teh rain hit so hard, it was pouring through teh mosquito nets so i had to run around teh cabin outside and shut the wooden latches also had to do a BTCOD for another cabin, teh inside of teh cabin flooded and trees were swaying and falling down around us, later on the power went down and with it the water, once the storm cleared all activities were cancelled and all afternoon we were moving trees, branches, cleaning tennis courts and digging a irrigation system for teh water to run to the stream which runs down teh appalachian trail. It was very exiting and teh power didnt come back on till late that night, people had to go to the toilet in teh woods and we had to have a emergency meal lol hot dogs! milk had to be drank etc... as their was no water.

Other bits I have probably missed are the details on woodshop, I usually teach 6/8 kids they have been making projects like boxes, basketball hoop, a catapult allsorts really, teaching them teh basics and ticking them off on an achievement chart. I have just ordered some clock mechanisms which will be arriving for tehm to make clocks, atm they are all making key hangers. Sometimes it can be intense but when teaching seniors its more relaxing, the most difficult part is teaching jose (spanish) he barely speaks english so i have to learn bits of spanish like siera and serutzio which are woodshop tools. The kids who I have to look after in my cabin like this 20Q electronic game i braught and they hate timmy (counciler next door who plays barbie girl at 8am). Most of teh kids are up by then to do moosebears.

Sorry I havent uploaded pictures yet guys ,but if you go on www.moosilauke.com and then find the 2006 photo gallery you should find some pictures of me on their.
