Circa Survive

  We made it... You're looking at 5 of the staff that survived the Eden Dorm.  Session 1 is complete and we get all new kids on Friday.  I already miss the other kids.  
   We end each session with a dinner, a play, closing ceremonies, awards and a slide show.  The closing ceremonies involve each country's, that is represented, national anthem and some slides representing that country with the flag and things.  When your country's flag comes on the big screen everyone from that country stands up and sings the national anthem.  Also some of the kids wear their traditional dress.  It was such a great experience.  They all stand so proud, and sing so proud.  The highlight was this:  We have an 11 year old girl from Libya but her passport is United Kingdom.  At the end the director asked if there were any countries they missed.  She stood up and sang her national anthem a Capella, all by herself in front of the entire school and staff.  She totally rocked it.  So amazing.  
Katie.... you're here
     She let me tag along to her cousins wedding with this beautiful view and excellent cuisine.  It was a revolving restaurant at the top of the local ski resort.  Always a good time when the Speeds are around.
Lac Leman, I haven't been editing any of my pictures,  that's the real deal!!
