Boston-The awesomest place Ever!!

This week last year I....


Our last Camp Fire :( at CAMP WAPANACKI


The dream team (Me, Katie -Liverpool, Monika-Germany, Emma-Ozzie, Fatimah-South Africa, Dyandra - London and Faye - Birmingham) bussed it from Vermont to Boston. After saying 'see ya later' to Fatimah, we jumped on the subway....


...and got a bit lost...


...and then we were found :) Boston was hella hot and humid. It got up to 99% humidity and 107 degrees.

We visited all the monuments and random statues. In Boston there is a really cool thing called 'The Red Line', its painted/tiled/bricked into the road/path and you can follow it all around the city, through the old and the new. It was perty choice and we walked it for hours and hours.
(Faye, Katie)


Boston City




We were chilling in a Park, eating our Dunkin Donuts, watching the American Armed Forces training session. They thought we were cool as and invited us to train with them. Check out my amazing tan/muscles lol


A randomly awesome pool type thing in the middle of the City. Check out my flippin awesome tan!!!

We visited so many place in Boston including Harvard Law School (above)

The Dream Team sometime during our awesome adventures


On a boat (with our flippy floppies) on our way to Spectacle Island where it was hella hot and we almost died, then the tropical storm came in and we all had to run inside and not die. I love adventures




After our chilling on the burning hot beach, swimming in the Icy water and hiding inside from the cyclone. Spectacle Island

After Boston, we said 'Farewell' and sung a million camp songs to Monika at the airport, then picked Fatimah up at the Bus Station to travel to Washington DC to visit Uncle Obama :)

Night Owls 09

Mum is in America and I'm ridiculously jealous, so I thought I would share a little bit of my adventures from this time last year.

It was the 1st of August 2009 and I was having the time of my life at Camp Wapanaki, a Girl-scout camp in Hardwick, VT. It was the beginning of a new session and I was a Unit-Leader for two groups called 'Night Owls'. Think 16 extremely awesome, 11ish year old American girls, living in the wilderness with a 4 1/2 Extra awesome counsellors (me, 3 others, and lifeguard Katie who was with us during the nights), and no shortage of sugary foods. It was definitely one of my favorite/hardest/most rewarding weeks.

So here are some highlights.



Megan (Australia/Co-counsellor), in our awesome Tent.


4 of the Girls and their creation Mohammed. 'Why did you call the walking box mohammed?' "Because its a box..er :)" I was never that clever.



Counsellors during our Camp out. One of the funniest nights EVER!!! It was soo hot and we ate way to much chocolate, but we had alot of fun.



My first experience Tye-dyeing



I'm so proud of my creation :)



Our Night Swim in Lake Wapanaki
Our group was called 'Night Owls' so we had to plan night activities. Crazy hard to have energy during the normal day activities, then have an extra hour or two of activities during sleep time. Crazy, but soo much fun.



All the Girls after our swim, (I think we were being power rangers but I was pretty much asleep) I totally don't miss my purple shorts or my eyebrows, but I hard out miss my tan!



Me and Katie my fellow lifeguard, getting ready to take our girls on a sponanious/surprise Kitchen Raid.




Night Owls 'Hoot Hoooot' naaww I miss my girlies :(
