A few things we've done on recent weekends: staff appreciation dinner and barn dance, cliff jumping at Fernie, and our end of the summer Hawaii party (a.k.a "we miss Laura"). We had a nice dinner this year, complete with very exciting staff appreciation gifts. Belt buckles!!! I've wanted a Wilderness Ranch Belt buckle since the first year I worked at camp, and I am a very proud owner of a personalized belt buckle of my very own! In fact, I've worn it every day since then. After the dinner we went to the Great Canadian Barn Dance near Cardston. It's become a yearly ritual for us, and it's a lot of fun to sqaure dance, polka, jive, two-step, etc. It's one of my favourite events of the summer!
We went cliff jumping the next day and unfortunately it had been a late night, so I was a little tired for it, but it was still a lot of fun. I'm a bit of a chicken, but I still jumped off a few cliffs. I definitely could not jump off the highest one though! It was ridiculously high, and I certainly would probably never in my life desire to jump from a cliff like that. However, my very brave friends Kenny, Kyler, Bjorn, and Annalyn all jumped off! Thank goodness I didn't have to use my nursing skills that day, especially because I couldn't believe how many people were "drinking and diving". One guy could barely walk straight, and did a back flip off a cliff. Goodness... that's all I can say.
Our end of the year celebration was a Hawaii themed party. This was because our very good friend and coworker, Laura, was in Hawaii for the last week of camp at her friends wedding. So it was a party in honour of her. Again, we danced, had some great food, and savored each others company, as a few people were leaving the next day, including me. I had to leave asap to go camping with my family. Actually, I'm supposed to be camping right now, but it started to torrentially pour this morning, so we bailed on the lake for the day and are going out to Kimbal tomorrow.
