For me, Session 7 didn't feel like Session 7. It felt like Session 3 or maybe even Session 5...but it sure didn't feel like the last week of regular camp. I don't know if a summer of mine has ever gone by as fast as this one has. I feel like I'm ready for the fall and to start school and be with family and friends at home, and see our hamster.
 But I'm not sure I'm ready to stop cleaning 11 bunny cages, hanging out and working hard with my barn girls, banging plates and silverware obnoxiously at the dinner table with my crazy and amazing Bear cabin, and all the other fun and crazy normal every day stuff that occurs here at Double H Ranch. But ready or not, the summer is coming to an end pretty fast- gotta embrace it!

We had our semi formal staff party during this intercession at a beautiful country club. It was so fun to see everyone dressed up and the food was outstanding!
Yesterday I had the pleasure of travelling to New Hampshire as a volunteer in our hospital outreach program. I really enjoyed hanging out and playing with kids in the hospital setting, and that experience just further confirmed how much I enjoy doing outreach.
 Tomorrow begins our Alumni Session which is special 5 day session for kids 17-21yrs old who have aged out of the summer camp. I've officially left my beloved Bear Cabin (where I had so much fun!) and I'm now with a new team in the Muskrat cabin where I will continue to care for older girls.

Today Josh, Don and I get to go to Melrose to go visit a very special camper and his family! The fun just never stops! Happy Summer '11!
