The haunted house

This is a house that you walk past going around the lake. at night its actually really scary, but during the day its just plain cool!
Far out its been 10 weeks already! hasnt time gone fast! ive been looking forwards to the end of camp but now that its almost here (2 days to go) I dont wanna leave!
Honestly you have a love/hate relationship with this place - every single person that I know here does - its your home and the people are your family, but being tired all the time can drag you down - but u still love it - the good times and the bad!

had banquet the other night - where the whole camp gets dressed up and has a formal type dinner, and then after dinner we had the staff show - Grease! was heaps of fun! a good laugh!

Oh soccer... so we had 2 soccer games this session and we lost big time! the first game we lost 10-2 and the second game we lost 8-3. but was fun! especially playing at 11 o'clock at night! good times!

So leave camp on Sunday 28th August (my brothers birthday -- HAPPY 25TH BIRTHDAY LAMBERTUS!) and spend a week in the big apple, then fly down to Miami on the 4th sept for a 4 night cruise of the Bahamas then spend a few days in Miami after the cruise then head up to Washington DC (gonna go say hi to my mate George Bush) and the maybe cruise over to philly, and then back to New York.... Should be fun!

anyway gotta run... till next time
love ya!

walking to Paradise Falls at night on our night off...its really scary becuase there are bears in the woods and they had been spotted on camp. so walking through the woods late at night isnt exactly our most favourite thing to do...espeacially when the locals tell you they wouldnt ever walk there wthout a gun!
