July camping

Hey there blog followers....
Since my little hiking adventure in June I have now gone camping. Here are a few pictures from my latest adventure.











 Duck tape fixes anything!

 Yummy icecream
 I have no icecream but I did have a homemade waffle cone





 A very pretty waterfall...



 Doing dishes!
 No bugs for us!

 being goofy!


 Mt St Helens
 It's there!!! really!!
 Wait!!! There it is!
 AAhhhhhh....there it is
 This is the south side of the mountain
 Still there
 And it disappears again.....
The previous pictures of the mountains were taken within two or three minutes of each other while the mountain was encased in clouds, appeared and then was covered in clouds again.

Miscellaneous

Hey there blog followers-
Since arriving home around June 3rd I have done some relaxing, gone to a boatload of doctor's appointments, hiked and gotten a job! I have to admit that I was a bit bored after three weeks of not working. Having a break is nice but a three week break is a bit much for this busy body.  I am working at the Bellevue Athletic Cllub as a summer camp counselor, something which I hope turns into full time employment for the fall!  I love it. I get to hang out with kids of all ages and play games, color and read stories. Sounds tough but after a week of preschoolers and getting them ready for the pool, pooled and dressed again, I have a whole new appreciation for parents of toddlers! That is a tough job!!
I went hiking to Barclay Lake and although it was a nippy at night, it was a wonderful hike! Here are the pictures!
Diana in "time out" Not really, she was just super excited about the bug net.
