From top to bottom are me in my birthday raincoat, Caleb and I on 48s making coffee with a sock and Dan sitting in my hammock with petunia.

Camp is still goign well.  Mom sent me a brand new copy of “The Deathly Hallows” and I managed to finish reading it the same day.  Being a survival instructor has really been feeding my ego, I came here in the spirit of humility…but now I just feel like a God among men.

For those of you who know the place, that’s where I spent my two day with Caleb and Virginia.  It was nothing short of incredible.  We spent the day swimming and kayaking in Lake Superior, not to mention cooking a nice dinner over some hot coals on the beach.  It’s what life is all about.

Well, that’s all for now…the clock is ticking and the boat is in bound to pick me up and take me from enjoying my time off back to enjoying my job.  The Lord’s been good to me and all of you should be feeling extremely jealous…Virginia and I are living the life.

This summer I’ve been running competitions in camp.  The photo on the left is me starting the swim competition.  The kids have been cropped out to protect their identity.  I just thought I looked particularly authoritative in this photograph.  You know, my whistle and radio close by.

Ellie, Lola and Petunia are fine and I managed to find some load bearing carabiners to set up my hammock so things are more comfortable as well.

At any rate…Peter was complaining that I didn’t put up enough pictures, so here’s one.  When I get home I’ll add some galleries for everyone.

Well, we celebrated our nations birth by blowing things up.  Pictures say far more than words, so I’ve provided one of those…

Yes, the firework rifling off to the side narrowly missed my face.  It was, however, for my country and kin that I was risking life and limb.
