A few pics



Lauren all set to go on her first international flight!




Picture from our balcony. You can see the Villa which is where the snack shack is located (a popular spot for the girls!)







Josh is helping teach American football. He taught baseball this morning.


He's so in his element right now!


I taught some youngsters how to make a card. Even boys came, which I thought was great!

I have some time to post some of these pictures because it's POURING outside! The soccer games (the ones they couldn't get finished) had to be canceled and I believe the kids are trying to stay dry right now! Kaylor and Lauren went over to a Polish friend's home (Natalia). Little Natalia is the daughter of the camp managers, who I've known since 1998. She is one year older than Kaylor I think. It took a few days for them to warm up, but since this late morning, they've been inseperable! They don't live very far from camp. Hope this finds you all well. Thank you for your comments.

I'll answer one about the food. It's GOOD. Breakfast consists of a basket of bread (different kids, some even have jelly filling), a plate of cheese and meat, cucumbers and tomatoes. There is butter, honey and a homemade cherry jam on the table as well. Drink is either coffee or tea (we get some great oj from the snack shack. Lunch and supper vary, but usually the bread is the first thing to eat. Then a soup of some kind (there's nothing you need to add to it, it's the best I've ever had... and so says Josh!) that consists of a broth, potatoes and some dill weed in it. Usually we have either a meat and side dish of potatoes to go with. Today was a pasta treat. For the staff here, I've heard it's their favorite dish. It's a sauce of meat and cheese over spiral noodles. Last night, we had the noodles, but with this strawberry cream sauce. At first glance, you're like yikes! But when you eat it, oh man, it's good! I'll try and remember the camera and take a picture of dinner tonight!

Keep the questions coming! Oh, and no kickball yet!!
