August 6 & 7, 2010

Friday 6~~~~The weather this morning is pretty warm and a lot of people are extending their stay in the park so we don't have many sites to clean. We have three sites that really need gravel, so we took advantage of no one in them until later in the day and we had Josh dump several scoops of gravel with the Bob Cat in each site, Kent and I and two of the rangers spread the gravel. Kent had to go work in the office, so I finished the job with the rangers and Kent went to the office. The sites look so good when they have a thick layer of pea gravel on them, it cuts down on the dust in the air and the mud when it rains. Saturday 7~~~~The Park has a man who teaches building willow furniture and different things teach a class in the Children's Educational Center this afternoon, I usually try and help with the classes, so Krystal asked me if I would go and take pictures of the class. He had a spot he didn't fill, so I asked Brian the teacher if I could join the class and make a trellis with the class. He said I could and it was so much fun weaving all those small branches in and out and seeing how pretty the trellis become. He asked me if I would be interested in teaching the class next year if he couldn't make it and I said a real fast no, as I am not very artistic with out a teacher beside me. ha (pictures) Shelby and her girlfriend Jamie drove up to the park to visit us, tonight was the night for our play in the Amplitheatre and Shelby and Jamie got asked to take a part in the play. It is a story about Big Foot and different characters in the woods who see or hear him. Kent is one of the tree shakers and makes loud thudding noises, I give a blood curdling scream about three times and then we have someone who holds up these red lights that looks like eyes. Shelby played the part of a girl walking her dog and it got away and she thinks that Big Foot is in the forest and he got her dog. We have a family sing along with all the favorite camp songs before the play. We do the play after dark so it is quite eerie and scary. We all have fun doing our part and the part of Big Foot is so real with the costume they have for him to wear it almost scares me!!!!
