Day two hundred and three.
Saturday. July 23, 2011
My parents' friends came over for some food & cold beverages..
This couple is one of my favorites to talk and laugh with. They're moving to TX though, and I will miss them.
p.s. this day should go before the previous post. I just don't want to try to fix it.

We went to the new fancy pool in town with my aunt and her sister-in-law. This was a nice getaway from the 100+ heat.
While at the pool a grasshopper landed on my wrist and I watched him clean himself for a good ten minutes. My favorite part is when he takes a strand of antennae between his legs to clean. He reminds me of a dog, or Pixar character.

Today was my last day volunteering at camp. The past two weeks have been tiresome, yet incredibly worthwhile. I admire the summer staff and year-round counselors who do all they can to give campers a wonderful week.

The County Fair happened this week. Everyone at camp rides buses down to the fairgrounds--campers are allowed 1 hour of free rides each year, which is pretty neat. Here we are on the dizzy frog.

Five hours of floating down the Maquoketa River landed us to shore at 9 pm. This was one of my favorite days of the summer. Plenty of drinks, laughs, and falling off tubes.

Eating HuHot and practicing our magical spells in preparation for HP 7.2

One of my favorite things about camp is that everyone, no matter what ability level, can be adventerous. Today we had everyone in the group make it inside the cave--which happened to be 50 degrees cooler than outside.

I didn't take a picture today. I know, shoot.
Soon I'll be leaving for Iowa, which means I get to see these ladies. I'm really excited.

I spent the day at work, which was a different feeling than the usual July fourth celebration. But it was still fun, and pretty relaxed. At night we sat in the driveway and watched a few nearby fireworks. One of the guys asked who's birthday it was, so I told him it was America's.

Made some bread today! I meant to take a picture of the finished loaf, but forgot. Ah well, it turned out okay!
