3, 2, 1, Action

I started work today! I officially have like five boyfriends now. If you knew what it was like to work with the kids you'd understand. I seriously love them all to death.
This morning I was a little scared, nervous, feeling inadequate, freaked out, but it ended up not being that bad. I'm pretty sure my kids are the cutest in the whole camp. Not going to lie.
Today I got to be a ride along, simply meaning that I got to ride on the van with seven kids and two others staff members, one being the driver and the other having a one on one. So that means that I was thrown into the middle of a bus surrounded by crazy boys and the sweetest little girl. I was  holding five different conversations, playing two different games and trying to talk to the driver all at the same time. And then, my "best friend" got on the van. Boy do I love that kid. He is... I don't even think words can describe him. He calls me Kelly Clarkson and I call him Shane Harper.
You can probably guess who I ended up eating lunch with. Yup, my bestest friend. At that point I had met his friend and they were planting moves on me like no other. This is where the whole you have to understand these boys to understand what's going on here. These boy's counselor just happened to be my really good friend Yuriy, so we ate lunch together. All of a sudden I see these crazy boys talking to Yuriy and they are all looking at me and laughing so hard that they can barely get their words out, so naturally I'm thinking okay sweet, these boys are planning something not to great and I'm going to be the victim.
I was so right. Out of no where James yells at Yuriy to move and so he comes and sits by me, which was totally fine, and then James comes over to Yuriy and was like "it's the perfect time to plant a move on her.  At this point James has Yuriy's arm practically around me. So being the gentleman Yuriy is, he escapes the move and tells James and Shane to watch this. He holds up both of his fists and indicates a double fist bump. That's now know as "the move."
We had some pretty great adventures at the pool too. It ranged from my main man chasing me around the little pool, to Shane and James trying to dunk me, or jumping off the side of the pool trying to see who could get the closest to landing on me, James won that one, he landed right on my back!
Lets just say I have the best job in the world and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

On a completely different note, my town is on fire in more than one place. From my house you can see the flames on the "mountain."
We had a couple pretty good lightning bolts strike today and it's been a while since we've had a source of water fall from the sky.
The point I'm trying to make is that even though fires are bad and sketchy, they make for some really cool pictures.

The smoke clouds are the dark clouds in the very back.
 
 
I have no idea what this fire is from, but the smoke cloud tripled its size within twenty minutes of this picture.

This was the fire you could see the flames from my house. It was pretty intense.
