Setting Up Camp.

So, I'm actually at the camp now. well, this camp. It's near Houston... which is about 45 mins n/e of Smithers.
The camps is pretty interesting. We're in the middle of a forest, with a small patch of gravel used to park the trucks and kitchen, set up the dining, dry and medical tents, and the shower cabins. There's a river to one side of the camp, and on the other is a mountain. My tent is set of near the river, behind the kitchen and across the gravel from the kid's trailer.
My days are pretty long... I wake up in time for breakfast at 6am, then relax until around 9.30 when the kids normally wake up. The planters are out of here around 7, so I just read and maybe get a couple more minutes of sleep. after that, the kids get breakfast and then we head outside for a day in the woods. They also like to play near the river, although I'm a little worried they'll fall in. The current's super strong because of the run off. then i make them lunch, and put them down for a nap... which is my favourite part of the day, haha. I get to eat my lunch and read, and have a bit of down time for myself. After they wake up we normally go on "adventures" and "exploring" which involves getting as far away from the camp as possible and getting a little lost. After all that, normally their parents get back in time for me to clean up around the tent, get dressed and meet kyle coming in from the blocks.
All in all, its been an okay time... I've made some unforgettable memories. Like drinking chili around the fire, watching Acacia jump in "muddles" (which is her word for mud puddles) and... well i can't remember anything else now.
