Another week is almost over!

So this week has been very long!! I think I've had my quota of horse camps for this summer!! 

These girls at the moment are much older than others I've had so I haven't been able to bond with them as much but they are still great! I've had them all chasing after me with pitchers of water and buckets trying to soak me and others who like to drench me whilst I'm watching at the pool...! 

These girls don't leave until Sunday so I still have some time left with them but the "Me and my Gal" (Dad and me camp) is coming in tonight so I'm going to be busy  switching between my girls and running activities for the Dad and the young girls! 

From tonight to tomorrow is my day off so I'm chilling with some of my camp friends! Minnow; a camp alumni offered to take us back to her house for dinner so we are chilling in her back garden. 



I can't believe we only have a week and a half left of actual camp! Its crazy! 

Happy Reading!

Horses, horses and more horses!

So as the title explains I have been around horses a lot this week. My Level 2 Horse Camp; Back in The Saddle was pretty good but I've spent A LOT of time with them! We as unit counsellors look after the kids but when it comes to being in the barn we can't do anything because we don't know what we're doing! 

The rest of the activities were great and the girls were lovely too! Anyway, next week we get another horse camp... These are the most experienced riders so they should be pretty good. 

Campers and sessions aside we had another few days off once the girls left so we went out for dinner together. Today we ride horses (never again!) and relaxed at the pool; it was so lovely and chilled. 

We managed to get some decent wifi so we looked up places to eat; WE GOT CHINESE! I was so excited! It tasted so good and it was nice to had normal food for a change!! 

Thunk thats it for now! I don't have any good photos this week, they're all on my camera...

I can't believe we only have 19 days left, its so crazy!! I've had the time of my life! 

Time for bed!
Happy Reading!

Sailing Away amongst other things!


So again its been a while - I'm sorry!

I've been at another camp all week sailing with some girls - had such a great time and it was great to be able to spend some time somewhere else other than camp! The lake was so pretty!

Oh and I got to ride on a yellow school bus!!



I didn't manage to sail but got some canoe time which was fun! We stayed in a lodge with air conditioning and sofa's - it was bliss! 

I'm safetly back at Redwing now waiting for the next lot of girls to arrive tomorrow and I have another horse camp next week :)

Saw a GIANT snake yesterday which had made its way inside one of our buildings - yuk!! It was at least 4ft long and very aggressive! 

Enjoying my day off by doing absolutely nothing!

My first ever 4th July!

Happy 4th July! 

I've been staying with my friend Wallaby and her family - I've had a lovely few days.

Today has been really great! We got up and had pancakes for breakfast and then headed to the Half Price Bookstore near Wallabys house - anything half price is good for me!! After we decided to hear to the outskirts of Pittsburgh to look at the views of the skyline, it was really pretty and great to be able to see the city for the first time! 

We've been in the pool this afternoon and had a great time - just waiting for a BBQ for dinner. 

Back to camp tomorrow for a Hunger Games inspired camp (don't worry no one gets hurt!)  - back to the Yurts I go!! 

Thats all for now, I have a solid 2 weeks of camp coming up so I'll try and update when I can. 

Hapy Reading!
