Only at kids camp could such a list be made from a single week, but somehow all of the craziness seems to blend into some distorted version of normal as long as I dont catch a glimpse of the outside world during it all! Have spent this past week being a leader at Teapot Valley kids camp, circus theme, with a beautiful group of girls who were super fun and even though there were times I wanted to shoot them, I can safely say that when I said goodbye I did love them. It's always amazing to see girls who are nervous and shy turn into confident happy young women over just a few days...there's something about camp that does that to people. Its going to be more than a year now until I will be back there, so it was a little sadder than normal to see everyone leave and I will miss those kids who come every holidays, I feel a little bit protective over them I guess. But I get to be a part of a whole different camp soon with kids who will most likely tease me for my accent but who are just the same as kids all round the world, so Im sure I will come to love them too.
And it wouldn't of been the same without you Aliesha, your brilliant smile and great organisational skills pulled off one of the greatest camps yet. You are truely and inspiration to us all and you need to keep spreading your love and sunshine everywhere you go. Thank you for being a great role model all these years. Best of Luck, God Bless xx
