Forever.

So it's been forever since I posted. My bad. Quick updates about what I've been up to. Lets see, last week of July a lot of the kids "went it" with friends, guardians, or families. With the kids who were left, we went to Silverwood. That was awesome, except a few of the boys and I waited about 2 hours for one rollar coaster ride! You'd think we were at Disneyland or something.  We had tons of pool time, and just hung out. Took a few trips to the Garland (a movie theatre) and parks. I think the last few days we had pizza for dinner 4 days in a row.

The first week in August I went on a family vacation to Eagle Crest, Oregon. It is really close to Bend, Redmond, and Sisters. The resort was awesome, and we got some great time in the pool, river, and mini-golf course. After vacation, I was able to go back to Oak Harbor for a few days. It was great to be home and catch up with some friends.

Since being back from vacation, it feels like this is the 'home streatch'. There is only one full week of normal summer after this week, and many of the kids won't be here. I'm trying to squeeze in one last writing project into my tutoring sessions. I thought it would be fun for each of my kids to write a news article about an event that happened in their cottage, and put it together like a news paper. Hopefully that can be finished before the end.

Some exciting news: I've decided to keep interning with Hutton during the fall! I need to do an internship for school, and really wanted to continue working here. I'll work about 10 hours a week, focusing on career prep stuff- like interview skills, resume building, and networking- with the older kids. I'm so excited I am able to do this.
