Catch up

Just living it up

As you can see by the above photos... I've been busy doing stuff. This past weekend my group which consist of me and the 4 other girl aquatics counselors I work with everyday went to Paris. We had a great time and saw everything you could possibly see there. It was my second time there and it definitely paid off as I was the chief navigator of getting us around town. A responsibility I enjoy very much. We had three days to spend in Paris (Sat-Mon) so we had a lot of time to go to all the hotspot Paris has to offer. My favorite spot is the Louvre. It is the largest museum in the world and I am just a big fan. All of my life I have been fascinated with old art and the history to it all. There is something about seeing the Mona Lisa and other art in the Louvre that makes it pretty special.

This is me with the Mona Lisa in the background. Its a crazy room full with people constantly taking pictures.

The beautiful outside pyramid that will always make you say wow I really am in Paris.

Work

This past Tuesday "Camp" finally started. My days will be pretty similar for the rest of the summer. From 8-12 and 1-5 I do swim camp with 6-10 year olds. Swim camp is basically having fun with kids in the pool (aka playing games with them, helping them with their swimming, and just being their friend). We are in the pool about half the time then we eat snack outside and play games outside in the lawn. I really feel like this is my cup of tea and really feel lucky this is what I get to be doing all summer. That doesn't mean some days are going to hard because we you are dealing with youth you will always run into problems but I do believe I will have a great summer working with the kids. Myself and 2 other counselors are in charge of about 15 kids each time.

As you I have talked about earlier I am the Aquatics Director here at Ramstein AFB so that means I have to oversee the counselors and make sure they are doing a good job as well as taking all the instructions from the air force base pool managers. I have a lot of responsibility and I can feel myself growing as a leader.
