Ok so ive only had like a day and a half with nature but so far so good! Think me and the snake (Sir Hissalot) have a bond although i still get freaked out when its face comes too close to me. Me and the iguana tho...not so close...he/she (some say its a guy called Isaac but a camper pointed out that it was a girl...hmmm) opened its mouth to me yesterday...and if it tried to bite me it would hurt bad...but it likes me enough to let me pick it up :) The rabbits (Flopsy and Pokadotted) and guinea pig [View Full Entry]

Well as you may or may not have worked out by the title...my position in camp has now changed. I am no longer horse director but am nature director instead. How is this different i hear you cry??? Basically nature looks after rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, a snake, an iguana, a tortoise, fish, 2 birds, frogs, goats, pigs, Molly (the miniture horse), goats and some roosters. Quite a lot eh! Why the change??? Well they needed a rec director (sport director) and the assistant horse director is really good at sports. I also dont let the kids ride the horses because [View Full Entry]

Tomorrow, July 4th, we begin our journey. We fly to Denver for a couple of days before our flight to San Jose, Costa Rica. Packing is difficult when trying to fit it all in a backpack. I think that I have thought of everything but expect to forget alot. It is a learning experience. [View Full Entry]

Following on from my previous entry, I've spent the past week in tornado country. Luckily there haven't been anymore actual tornados, but the weather has still been pretty pants at times. However, the show must go on as they say. Obviously, my thursday was pretty much identical to my wednesday (just minus the tornado). I got up, I watched Wimbledon, and then frazzled my nerves a bit whilst watching the Spain - Russia semi-final. Yay Spain! In the evening Joanna's mum took us out for dinner and then we headed to another bar to meet up with some people. ComFest On [View Full Entry]

On June 30, my family and I arrived at Camper Village, Cedar Point. On July 1st, we went to Cedar Point Amusement Park. We rode Millenium Force, Power Tower, and Mean Streak. After that, we had lunch. I was beginning to feel nauseous, so I didnt join my family when the went on Magnum XL 200. Instead, I had an enormous snowcone larger than my head. My brother began to feel ill as well, so we went back to the camper while our parents rode the terrifying Dragster, at 120 mph. [View Full Entry]

Well its coming close to the end of the camp session now. Have only got 2 more programmes to teach and a carnival to supervise tonight and then the kids are off 2morro at 10ish. Have been trying to develop my faith more these past few days. Have been feeling so tired and it has been harder to get up each day but through prayer God has given me the strength to carry on and has given me the energy needed...although patience is a different matter! Since i last blogged my days have been harder. My motivation is lower than it [View Full Entry]

Guess what....God has blessed me again! He has brought a new addition to the horse area....her name is Molly and she is a miniture horse i.e. a shetland pony! Woop! Finally something which i am really familiar with. She seems really sweet but she is quite young and so far the kids go mental around her. They brought her up to my club today and they all ran towards her....so much for safety...some kids really have a deathwish. They actually stopped after i told them to tho....cinncinati kids would not have. Actually jumped off the tall pole. Took quite a bit [View Full Entry]

Well just thought i would share with you a little blessing that i have felt today...after its about time i start reporting some positive things...believe me positive things do happen and its not just misery here, its just for some reason the negative things seem to stay more firmly in my mind. Basically i was kinda getting down bout my lack of ability to allow kids to ride horses and unable to think of things to do instead and serverly running out of time...but God has blessed me cos He gave me more time. 2morro i have the afternoon off to [View Full Entry]

Little update for u all. Tis sooooooo hot here 2day. Stormed a bit yesterday and there seems to be more storm clouds hanging round which is making it humid. Horse is limping on the other leg now...they are bringing someone out to see him today but he looks like he is in a lot of pain. Not so nice to see him hobbling around :( Had my 1st club session. The kids are a lot better behaved and focussed. One kid got bitten tho and one kid had to go to the nurse cos he was complaining bout feeling ill but [View Full Entry]

I think the title pretty much sums it up!! I arrived in Columbus on Tuesday night and Joanna met me at the airport. As Joanna is studying and working loads at the mo, I was left to my own devices during the day, which unsurprisingly consisted of Wimbledon and the Anyhow, in the evening we decided to go out to eat before meeting up with some of Joanna's friends at a Karioke bar. We didn't stay there that long, as the main reason for going out was to go and see Mike Perkins play his usual Wednesday Night gig at the [View Full Entry]
