What starts with an "s" and ends with a "lacker"...?

If you guessed Lauren and her blogging habits, then you are correct.  I have definitely not been slacking at work though... things have been very busy around here since the last update.  Everything is still going well though, and I figured it was about time for a photo update again.  So, in no particular order (because Blogger decided to jumble them up during the upload), here are some pictures from the last 3 weeks at IMC:

Kaleigh and me on Canada Day - July 1st (Week 4)

Kendall and me at the lookout in the Peace Gardens on our day off - Week 4

On our day off in Week 3 we went to Minot and I met his parents.  Here we're playing a fierce game of Bocce ball (Kendall and I won 15-13).

In Week 3, my campers convinced me to fit myself into one of the suitcase cubbies.  It actually wasn't too bad in there!

Tony, Tim, and Rob modeling the boxers Tony's wife bought for all of them... red with maple leaves and skulls.... ???

2 proud Canadians!  Jane and me - Canada Day, Week 4

Stephanie's name tag was misspelled, so I decided to take advantage of it by giving her nicknames that rhyme with StephaniNe every day.  So far she has been sanguine, turpentine, ball of twine, bovine, moonshine, clandestine, graphic design, and today she's sweet child o' mine.  Who knows what tomorrow will bring?

Ginger (in her lovely slippers) cruelly withholding a Pixie Stick from a camper right before lights out in Week 2 or 3

Kendall posing on top of the lookout - Week 4 (extra points if you can give me the movie reference for this pose)

Ginger and me at the end of Week 2 or 3

Cory, me, Villi, and Tharon (sax quartet extraordinaire!) before performing at the dedication of the Alme International Arts Centre - Week 2

While I was having dinner with Kendall and his parents on our day off in Week 3, his dad pulled out an old C-Melody saxophone that Kendall's grandpa had owned.  It worked, and they had reeds.... it was the first time I had ever even seen one of them in person!!!!  I think the last one was made in the 1940s-ish.

It was a musical evening all around!

So there it is.  An update.  Finally.  Like I said, life is pretty busy around here and so I try to keep up on Facebook when I can (check there for more pics if you're interested), but I know the blogging has been a bit slack.  Despite the few bumps in the road along the way, things are going smoothly at IMC.... and time is FLYING.

Next stop, Paula's wedding in Winnipeg on Friday!!!!
