So we made it to San Diego... Yay! Not like there was ever any doubt. I realize that a lot of things have happened since I last updates but we've been busy to say the least.
Leaving Colorado was quite hard. And it seems impossible that that was only two weeks ago but it was. Saying goodbye to the rest of the summer staffers was not something I wanted to do but I was so ready to get our California adventure started. It's a good thing we'll see most of our friends at the end of the summer :) Travel week went smoothly, very few glitches during our road trip and so much beauty. Sometimes we just wanted to stop and gawk at all the different things we were going through: mountains, deserts, hills, rivers, forest, cliffs, the colors of Colorado, the reds of Utah, it was some pretty awesome stuff. Getting to San Diego though was the highlight. It was like home and we had just gotten there!
The welcome we received from our local coordinator and our facility host was fabulous. I knew instantly we were going to have a lot of support from them with any trip ups we might encounter this summer. I could rave on and on about our lodging host AND site leader Susie, but I won't. Basically she spoils us like a grandma would: cookies, brownies, chocolate covered strawberries, yes please! Set up flew by and sooner than we knew it camp was starting!
We were caught a little off guard on Sunday but this week went by with way more free time than I expected. Kaitlyn and I did a great job at getting all we needed to done before lights out so we too got 6-7 hours of sleep a night! It was fabulously unexpected. We were blessed with an adult leader who stepped up and took control of the kitchen for us which took a lot off our shoulders. Greg was absolutely our God sighting this week. We only had 30 campers so we had a nice easy start into the summer, great adults, great campers, the only thing that could've been better would have been a worship team but you win some, you lose some.
This weekend my dad came into town and we went kayaking by the shores of La Jolla. It was fabulous. Beautiful day, great people, and the ocean was fabulous. It was nice to finally do something just because we wanted to and we were in San Diego. Kaitlyn even got seasick and threw up 5 times... No big deal ;)
My dad is in town to be one of our hospitality team members this week. I'm stoked he's here. Now he gets to fully understand what it is I do in the summer and why I love it so much. I think it was a good break for him too, he's just not getting as much sleep as he thought he would!
I think that's all I have time for at the moment but I promise I'll post again soon. These beginning weeks have been a bit crazy for us but we're getting there. Until next time!
