Color War!!!

Ok guys so .... recent happenings in America, My last day off was rather dull, a storm hit and it just rained the whole day so me and a few friends chilled out at teh chase house and watched a movie called into the wild which was awesome!!! havnt seen a movie that good in a long time, also went to this old classic kool diner which served some amazing bbq burgers!!

The next few days were regular days, I helped kids with teh achievement chart etc.... and then color war, teh whole camp split into two teams which were fake at first as I drove to pick up some things I missed this initial bit of it, then later on they were spooked out by all us counselors dressing up and jumping out of the woods with tiki torches and masks etc... The real teams were announced and I was a advisor for teh Grey team, this basically means I follow my team around to everything and help out wherever and however possible, coaching cheering etc... The two intense days of competition which followed were awesome, I felt like I made such a positive impact to our team along with several other counselors. We (grey team) dominated teh first day and were 100 points in teh lead, second morning we dominated also, won both our mega moose relays which ended in a fire building contest where they have to burn a rope about 4 foot high until it snaps. The afternoon we lost as it was in teh water and we were burnt out. I was feeling tierd as teh night before I didnt get to bed till late because I was helping my team with teh song and skit (drama play) also one of my kids woke up crying saying he saw a guy with a black bin bag over his shoulder in teh cabin. so I was up till late to make sure this kid was ok and then I had to wake up at 5am for fishing.
SO teh song and the skit, we did very well at it but teh Red team had put far more time into it and it was amazing to see. In the end it came down to like 15 points which is one sports game/competitive event! so very close but im so happy we won :)

Today I have been drinking honey and lemon to get my voice back :) had last night from 9pm off so chilled out at Marins house and had some beers and reflected on the past 2 days. Today rained so it was a chill day I was supposed to go on a golf trip which turned into a cinema trip with teh seniors and we watched teh new batman which was pretty sweet :) Then this avo ive had off so ive just chilled with everyone again and tryed to organise another rendezvoux with stef.

If you guys have any news pm me please.

Oh and btw Thanks for teh letter dad it was real nice to hear from you, Hope your taking good care and I look forward to doing TKD and some Golf with you when Im back at home.
