Top 8: Favorite Things To Do At The Conference Grounds

Maybe this shouldn't be "Top 8"...more like, "First 8 Things That Came To Mind."

1. Going in the hot tub when it's actually cold out. This doesn't happen very often because it's still so warm by the time we get up there during the summer, but this past weekend was particularly cold, so it was fantastic. 
2. Watching the sunset. Especially when there are clouds and cool colors. Also, watching big storms roll in over the lake.
3. Watching movies (or TV on DVD) with the girls in Amistad, wrapped up in blankets, eating bowls of ice cream and tons of junk food.
4. Pranking the boys. And staying up really late. And giggling like crazies.
5. Seeing all the wonderful kids and families that I've met over the past 3 years when they come out to camp for "their" weeks. I recognize and know more people every year, and it's so much fun to see the kids as they grow up. 
6. Going on "runs." Candy runs, Applebee's Half-Off Apps runs, Subway runs, Family Video runs, Pronto Pups runs (this was more when Stacey was around), Meijer runs...the possibilities are endless. Unfortunately, our gas money is not. Haha.
7. Wandering around, especially at night, and finding people to talk to. The best ones are those that offer you food from their campfire. This is why Nighttime Security is the BEST job here. Basically, you wander around, talk to people, and get offered free food. Oh, and you have to make sure everything is locked up and that there are no people on the beach or vandalizing things. But free food!
8. Spending time with all of the people that work here. They all have such unique stories filled with things that you would never even think of. That's the best part about coming back to work here every summer: already knowing (most) of the people you work with. :)
