Here are some photos from camp so far.

I thought this was appropriate to start with. Welcome to Camp Nicolet! I, or someone else on the kitchen staff, rings that bell four times before every meal.

These ducks are always swimming around and resting up on shore.

You're going to get a lot of these, because I think the landscape at camp is beautiful. This is the path I take every day to get back to the loft, where I sleep. I love it at this time of day.

In case you forgot what I looked like.

This is the view from my window in the loft. Isn't is stunning? You can see the lines from the screen too. :P

Speaking of the loft, here it is. Above the garage, see those four windows? That's the loft. The two windows on the left are where my room is. The windows on the other side is a room where my roommates sleep. Do you see in my window on the left? Yes, that is a stack of toilet paper holding the window up.

This is part of the hallway connecting mine and my roommates' rooms. If you can see, there is a cage.. one whole side of the wall is just a huge open cage. We don't know why it's there and we don't like walking past it at night.

This is Paula, one of my roommates. She's the archery and riding instructor. She was showing me her bow.

This is the laundry cabin. I'm always amused by the picture nailed to the top, so I took a picture of it.

Pam, the kitchen manager/head cook. This is BBQ night. She's making cheddarwursts and baked beans. (And garden burgers for the vegetarians.) I like Pam, she's a very nice lady. She's also a professional opera singer.

Here are all of the campers and some staff waiting to get dinner, on that same BBQ night.

Larisa and Ekaterina. These are two girls who work with me in the kitchen. They are from Russia. I really really enjoy them.

Everytime someone has a birthday, I have to make them a cake. One day there were three birthdays! Here are the cakes I made.

This is the outside of the kitchen and dining hall, which is where I work. I planned to take a picture of the inside.. but forgot.

So one day I pulled a batch of cookies out of the oven, put them on a rack, pulled another batch of cookies out of the oven, and as I turned to put them on a rack, I hit the pan of the other cookies. Here is the result, about halfway healed.

Sarah. She's from New Zealand. So kind and friendly. It's a shame it's blurry.

On my day off, I went with some girls to Katy's house on the lake to spend the night. Katy is the girl on the left and Anneke is the girl on the right. These next few photos are from that day.

On the left is Katy, Karen is behind her in the back (she's from England) and Jodi is on the right in front. (She's from Australia.)

One day I went to Eagle River and found a used book store that was having a sale. I bought all 23 of these amazing books for $27. I was in ecstacy for a day afterwards. I'm still excited when I think about it.

This is the staff room. We spend our nights here.

I just liked this picture. It's of the lodge and a swing set (obviously) in front of it.

Soo, so many pictures.. I love it!
The first one I love because it reminds me of my beautiful post card! :P but not quite as nice, because its missing Joe Dirt kneeling in front of the sign.
I also love ducks and beautiful landscaping.
I could never forget what you look like!
I see you have lots of friends, good! :)
Your room looks pretty good sized!
I love the laundry sign, that's so great. hah. I would do laundry everyday!
I am happy to hear they feed the vegetarians.
That's really neat that you get to meet some girls from other countries!
YOUR CAKES LOOK LOVELY!!! Soo pretty. Does the third persons cake not get candles?
Kate, you better not go and kill yourself at camp just to save some cookies! I would be beyond depressed. I hope that heals nicely, it looks painful! :(
The lake is very pretty!
I love that picture of the stairs outside.
I'm glad you got to go out on your day off, it looks like a lot of fun!!!
Is that army tank a boat?! That's funny no matter what it is.
I love love love, books that are cheap. I don't read enough to buy them at full price unless its something I really like. So I go crazy sometimes when there super cheap.
Your staff room looks pretty fun.
I wish Michigan's signs were as pretty as Wisconsin's.
Pretty bridge.
Even prettier Sydney. ;)

I was so happy to get your post card! I love it! It was funny because the day I got it I planed on starting to make your letter. Which I did, but its far from done, not to mention I need ink to print it!

Glad you are having fun!
<3 Jessica!!! :D

Re: yay <3, 07-16-06 2:18am

oo, what a wonderful and thorough comment.
I laughed a lot when I read the Joe Dirt part. I'm glad you enjoyed the post card as much as I did!
The third person got candles too, but I wanted to pour hot fudge on top first and then put the candles, and I hadn't done that yet.
I can't wait to get your letter! I'm sure it will be incredibly delightful. I miss you a lot! I hope you're summer is going very well. It sounds like you're having fun; I heard you went to Cedar Point and the zoo and such, so I hope that was all a blast.
I love you!

Out of all those books, Mein Kampf stood out. I have that book. Difficult to understand sometimes.
