Alrightttttttttt :P

So here I am atm at this wonderful holiday home in Maine which a fellow co counselor invited teh day off crew too and its well wow! its on a small island on a lake in Maine and the house is immense, it has like 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a hottub in the bedroom, a pool table, pingpong table, trampoline, a dock with a boat which I went water skiing and wakeboarding for the first time and I got up on the ski's but unfortunatly didnt manage to get up on the wake board. Had a wonderful lunch and dinner here, atm watching braveheart as I write this blog.

The other things in timeline order are...
Kids last session on the last night basically behaved like arseholes so the next day when their parents picked them up we wernt so bothered and kinda wanted most of them to go except a few well behaved ones. It was my day off so I left quite early after meeting a few parents. During the day someones parents rolled up by landing their plane on the lake and putting the bags and kid in then flew off! A few gifts I got were a tee shirt, some chocolates a coffee mug, and a book from a kid who wrote me a letter thanking me for helping him with soccer! that was real nice. 
After we left for our day off we went to a place called woodstock and had a wiked meal at the local Inn followed by a swim in teh river which was very rapid the current was really strong!
Later that night all teh counselors went to electra which is a nightclub and it was sooo crazy and funny :D the director was dancing and it was just helarious to see everyone having such a good time.
The next morning I didnt feel too bad so me and 2 other counselors took teh 7 and a half week kids to a waterpark called whales tails. Some of the flumes their were wiked fun! had a great day out their and after we went to the cinema and I watched x files which was terrible haha.
The following day which was Monday was opening day for the next lot of kids. I drove over 2 hours to the airport in Manchester to pick a kid up, he was a kool kid, had lunch and got back just in time for all the activities teh kids were playing at camp. Later that evening soccer did an announcement which basically introduced out activity area and we did teh crossbar challenge, if you miss you do pushups and if you hit you dish out pushups, no one hit lol, even got teh director to try...
I woke up early the next morning to go for a run which was nice but very tiering, then in teh evening I had double fishing and had a kid who had never fished before so I spent ages fixing a rod and then randomly he caught his first fish in his life which was kool.
The canoe to hanover yesterday went really well, I had two really kool kids in my canoe and it was really easy and fun, got slightly sun burnt. 

Soooo more has happened with the road trip after camp now....... chapter 2
