Hi everyone! So Saturday was a fantastic day. For fusion on Saturday night, we had staff skate up at the professional B3 skate park. I went against my natural instincts and conscience and decided to do some skateboarding, despite my previous bad experiences. I obviously started very very small being a beginner but by the end of the night I could drop into a mini ramp and cruise around pretty well. It was actually really fun!!! After fusion we had guitar songs around the campfire at the boys trailers.
Sunday was a very nice day! Started off with some gym and skype back home to the family. I found out that I was on Split in the 210 super air nautique in the mornings with the ski dock’s comic – Jack! We shared many a laugh! Had a group of 3 senior high boys, one senior girl from france who is quite a laugh, and a 10 year old girl we nicknamed puffin. The first day she didn’t say a word to us. Its as though we did something to get on her bad side. It was quite funny. At one point she was sitting in the water for a minute nodding for us to go. But we wouldn’t go until we heard her shout out ‘okay’ just to hear her voice.
In the afternoons I am on GP at the docks, which is good to get back to after a few weeks off. It’s more chilled out. Sunday was unfortunately a very rainy afternoon but they decided to keep the program and not call a wet weather. So we (wet)suited up and got to work. Sunday night we had hopper time, and then small group which went for 2 hours!! We were just having such good chats, had some good chats about the Sabbath. After that went straight to Soul House to top off the triple play! As usual soul house was good and thought provoking but I left my camera there and didn’t find it until Wednesday so missed many great photo opportunities.
Monday cruised by very nicely. On Monday night a bunch of us went to check out the ski show put on by SWS a professional company down the road. The ski show was very amazing! Since most of us there were ski staff we were inspired to put on our own ski show, so we are working towards that for next week. After the ski show, we went to Red Leaves resort overlooking the water which was such a beautiful view. We just sat on the deck and had some great conversations before returning to camp before curfew.
Tuesday morning – early morning ski! Even though it was raley Tuesday I decided that I needed to finally get this tantrum so worked on that for my whole set. Unfortunately I didn’t land any despite getting close numerous times. Tuesday also means stayover. So I met my boys who were very friendly and welcoming at lunch. At night we played phobia again which the boys were not very interested in. After the game we had an open forum where the kids could ask a panel of 6 staff any questions about God and such and I was privileged enough to be part of this panel. It was a great experience being able to share some of my stories with the kids.
I was amazed at how much my boys are into the girls. I literally had to pull them away!!! They go deaf when they are around girls. They nicknamed me neon as im sure many of you can deduce why…I do enjoy a bit of colour in my outfits and the boys seemed to pick up on this. It took the boys about an hour to quieten down but eventually went to bed.
Wednesday sleep in was great as usual. Skills went swimmingly through the day. After skills I went to staff swim where we got to use the blob and inflatable slide. It was really fun being blobbed, even when it wasn’t high, it was so sudden and felt high that it was still fun! After that, got together with the ski team and started preparing for our ski show next Wednesday, working on the pyramid and other tricks. Impact was on after that, and it was the first week that I didn’t play which was cool to actually sit up the back and watch it all.
Thursday morning early wakeboard was good fun. Mr Incredible pushed me to attempt a scarecrow which I came very close to landing and hopefully will get one landed by the end of the summer. Had a nice nap in the boathouse at lunchtime on Thursday after laughing continuously in the morning boat with Jack. Thursday night was also dedicated to preparing for the ski show, we practiced our pyramid unsuccessfully in the water and then practiced in the gym and got it off. It looked really cool!
Friday morning had a great skype with home before last day of skills. Port Carling at lunch with the boat. Then GP in the afternoon cruised by well…I even got to have a slalom. Friday night we headed to the supermarket to grab some supplies for the night before hitting up Kelly’s cottage. There was myself, Mark, Jon, Dave, Burgers, Zac, Craig, Jenna, Kelly and Coombs. We shared a nice homecooked meal around the dinner table, and then stayed up to 230 in the morning having awesome conversations.
Slept in until 11 on Saturday and then after a yummy pancake breakfast went back to the Woods for week 7 of 9…..ahhh its nearing the end!
