Photos of me:


In Boston (last year DMP)


Mmm! Shrimp!


This dog reminded me of my favorite dog, Davy.


In my dorm room.

Photos of my family:


Here's the whole gang on a camping trip:
Emily (18), Tyler (13), Mom,
Carrie (14), Dad, Valerie (20),
Bonnie (12), Jessica (15), Michelle (19).


Somehow we managed to fit 9 people into one camper!
(For meals, that is...a couple of people chose to sleep outside!)


Another cozy dinner in the Gartland camper.
(The plates look like they're about to fall off the table!


Here are my sisters with a crab someone caught.


When we were catching crabs, this crab caught Jessica's shoe.


Here we are after we got back.
(minus Michelle, who was on duty with the Coast Guard in Charleston, SC)


Here's the turtle I caught!
(Jessica would appreciate it if you noticed her finely manicured nails)


My youngest sister, Bonnie was my roomate this summer.
(I call her Little Bee and she calls me Big Vee)


My dad planned a grand waterballoon fight at my aunt's house.
(Notice Gabbie is hanging out with us - she's behind my dad.)


Emily me and Michelle before we left for a girls' night out at Olive Garden.
(Oh, it was so much fun!)


Here's Michelle looking all prim and proper.
(You wouldn't believe there's a tough Coast Guard Cadet underneath all that finery :-P)


Here's me looking angry.
(C'mon, Camera Lady, get this over with...I wanna go get some Italian food!)


Here's Chelle and me.
(I'm a little self-conscious about the braces, so I smiled weirdly.)

Photos from my trip to Western to be a camp counselor:


Western Carolina University, aka: Home Sweet Home.
(There's just no comparison.)


My friend Melissa and I had a fun little picnic on campus. :-P

(My roomie last year)


Mary!
(And she said she couldn't do anything crazy...)


Micah!
(The resident lifeguard)


Levi!
(Don't worry, he didn't really eat the millipede)


Sara!
(I think she may be hearing things...)


Valerie!
(No comment)


Wes!
(That's scary...no wonder his kids listened so well.)

-- CAMP LIFE --


My campers.
(That was the first time I slept in a tent in a long time...but I slept great!)


Crazy kids!
(What fun!)


I caught a garter snake!
(It was easy...the snake was lethargic because it was cold)


Slip n' Slide action shot!
(I must admit, I really like this photo. I can't believe I caught the the action!)


Slimed!
(Before getting on the Slip n' Slide, the kids covered themselves with this slime stuff)


Here's the view from the top of a climbing wall I conquered. :-P
(My hands were sweaty and kind of shakey, so it was hard to take this picture)
