Hanover

Hey guys, back at hanover!!!
Today is our day off before the kids arrive, I have a cabin with my co-councilors eric (usa) and bracken (uk) we got 4 kids to look after called hughie, nes, noah and sebastian. Read their profiles yesterday and woah!!! parents are loaded it costs $4000 to come to our camp for 41/2 weeks.

I might be missing bits out because i didnt bring my notes with me (addtional note added later: Also went bowling with everyone from camp it was sweet I tied first with scottish john 126points) its wierd because their was a strip joint next door and it was andys 21st so everyone got him drunk and a private dance also at teh bar their is like a leader board with loads of perfect games on, it was sweet! for 2 games it cost $4, yesterday was entertaining, i woke up a little late for moosebears 7:30am. Moosebears is a thing where you wake up and run down to the lake jump straight in and start playing games and singing, because me, eric and dave were late we were stuck in the middle and got soaked, it was sooooooooo cold!! (on that note i hear today is 30oc in the uk). After moosebears I did a little bit of preperation for woodshop and then took a 4 hour car trip with esther and melissa to wallmart, k-mart and a few other shops where i saw some awsome gifts for people. We took a big GMC suburban xl and spend about 300bucks. once we got back we went straight round to bills pad (bigs a camp director) he has a large cabin with jaquoosi on the portch, and his cabin backs onto the lake, had a nice BBQ their and placed some baseball with his & kennys kids.
After the bbq the over 21's went to kennys (camp director) house for drinking games, the under 21's went to get some bud from the garage and fill the eski's with ice, whilst waiting I watched sky sports news at the chase house the quarter finals are looking very interesting (my predictions for the semi's are argentina, italy, uk, brazil) then we all went to the trail and made fire :-)

Back to today, went in to a place called lebanon and got some clothes, its awsome how cheap they are!!! not sure whats happening later tonight.

I wish i'd braught my camera with me I could have uploaded the pictures as i have a fair ammount of time now.

By the way the last 2 days have rained heavily here, but the forecast is looking good!

Rachael - The people at my camp are all kool, their from russia, usa, south africa, belarus, austrailia and uk. Their is only one person who i dont like called pete (uk) he's a tosspot, he thinks he's incharge of everyone and because he's tall he thinks he's superior.
My woodshop is 1 room about 5metres square, it has a pillar drill, radial saw, benched radial saw and lots of tools for teh kids, the projects I making the kids make are a clock for teh juniors, a rotating dvd/cd rack for teh seniors and the kids who sign up for it in the avo can choose what they wish to make, their are a few other ideas floating round.

p.s debbie the letter was very kool and also random lol. If you read this can you either post me a blog or write me a personal email. (I can check email at the chase house but thats all because it takes 30mins to check the internet is that slow).

p.p.s I love you

Moose Moose Moose!!!
