Week One

I have been at camp for one week! And have done lots of things.

I got trained in high ropes, which I'll tell you about later.

I wake up early to keep my east cost time going, and get to see the sun light up the lake.

Then one day Tyler and I went to the dump, to dump an old asphalt roof out of the back of a truck. It only took us about an hour...then we went to Costco to get some supplies for camp. Toilet paper...check. Paper towels...check. Rubber Gloves...Check. Thank goodness there were food samples out, we were beat and needed the energy!

This weekend was Memorial Day Work Retreat. Lots of people come up to camp to help get it ready for the campers.

The amphitheater got new runners. There were 4 chainsaws going and lots of hammers. it was quite the sound

Dad came up to help with the Memorial day Work Retreat weekend. I had him trim a few trees and used his truck to take out some rubbish to burn.

I came home Sunday night to recoup! Rain West of Pablo.

Heading back up to camp now. I have only had to brush off three ticks to far. The most I have ever seen in my life!!! Ridiculous. I'm keeping a tally. So far Melanie = 3 Ticks = 0!

Back to camp and greet the rest of the staff on Tuesday!

Montana for Gold!

Elly and Ted took me to the airport. It only took us 1/2 and hour to get there and get all checked in... record time, so I had 2 hours of waiting before I flew out. Andy and I had to say our goodbyes.

I flew in to Missoula MT yesterday after having a mini vacation in Minneapolis with my Aunties and cousin. Once picked up from the airport we had errands to run. One was selling my moms old gold tooth for cash! We then went and feasted at Wendy's with her earnings.

Today I am packing up all my stuff and gettting ready to head to Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp, after we visit my Grandpa's grave and my Grandma in Kallispell.

For now, I'm home.

Montana Bound

Today I leave to go Montana. I will be in Minneapolis for a few days, then off to Missoula, Ronan, and Lakeside to my final destination: Flathead Lutheran Bible Camp.

This summer I will be on Grounds Crew, so I will be doing maintenance and facilitating the high ropes course. It will be a lot of fun, and I hope to update my blog on the weekends. I'll do my best to keep you informed.


Before I left I rocked climbed at the gym for the last time :(I will miss my climbing partner Genell greatly.
I will also miss my boy Andy.

Until we see each other again.
