That's right! We are halfway done with camp and we have been through a lot so far! Visiting Day came and went and with it camp bouts of stomach aches and "camp cold" but the kids and counselors are doing fine up here on Saddle Mountain. 

As for "Into The Woods" the show went really well and the kids really pulled it together in the end. Above is the adorable cast photo from that evening and I think the costumes and makeup really brought out the true characters in the children's personalities. 

Next up -- "High School Musical" we are down to the wire with this one and it opens this weekend on Sunday night for the camp to see! On this one, I have taken more of a consultant and choreographer, rather than "head-honcho" director. :) It is has been an interesting summer full of different experiences, especially since I have not been with a bunk this summer. 

I cannot believe that after this week, the over night trips go out, then it is Color War, and then I am heading out to the Hamptons for my two week contract! Summer is flying by! And before I know it, I will be back in Alabama for my visit and then headed home to Seattle to be thrust back into the REAL WORLD! Ahh! 

Keep the letters and love coming! My address in case you have forgotten is:

Just a quick update while I have the time to hit the computers for some inter webs time. Directing Into The Woods with an all children cast is one of the more difficult undertakings I have for the summer. The music, character interaction, and ensemble nature of the show is challenging for both the campers and myself, but I have faith that it will all turn out great and that next week's show for the camp will be an amazing one! 

Also, word of the summer: OUTRAGEOUS. I challenge those that read this entry to try and work it into as many conversations as possible! :) It will surely make you laugh, it made me laugh. I have made some great friends already, but this summer is definitely different than those of the past. I am not sure if it because I missed last summer and I am longing for the nostalgic memories of summers past, or if it is due to the luxury I have of having my own room this summer. I am grateful for the large bed and privacy, but I won't lie, I miss having a bunk "family" to go home to every night after my directing and choreographing is over. Le sigh...

The Staff Talent Show is quickly approaching and it looks like I will be in two acts. One with all the Girl's HCs and Head Staff and another with the two dance specialists. I have already begun work on both and with that and Into The Woods both next weekend, it is safe to say my summer is relatively busy thus far. It's outrageous! (See what I did there!?!?) 

Where ever you are, remember to live and love.
