back home

hiking at zions

I'm back from cedar city with many new adventures, friends, and lessons learned. GHA was one of the greatest learning experiences of my life, and I can't wait to share the ten days with everyone. so be checking in soon for more in depth posts about all of the fun times!

the ups and downs of lifeguarding

let me play out a little scenario I experienced this week:
Tuesday, June 2

Sara: Hey lets go check out the schedule to see when we are guarding this week!
Bailey: OK Sara great idea, lets go!

Sara: Hey look there is a private party on Thursday we could work...do you want to?
Bailey: Yeah lets do it! I worked this family's party last year and it was pretty low key.
Sara: Perfect! That means we will just be able to sit by the pool and talk while we watch a few kids.
Bailey: Yeah, it might actually be kind of relaxing!
Thursday, June 4

6:00 Bailey and Sara arrive at the club.
Mom: Hi thanks so much for doing this!
4 kids hop in the pool
Sara and Bailey think: perfect!

7:00 Mom: OK so my daughter invited her whole sixth grade to come for a little end of school party, but I don't expect there to be a lot.
7:05- 100 sixth graders jump in the pool
7:05-10:30 p.m. pure chaos. no breaks.

Sara and Bailey: how many times do kids have to be told to stay off the rope, don't run, not to hang on the diving board?! i think we reached a record high.

I don't think sara has fully forgiven me.

At least we got a tip.

one crazy week before summer...

this week has been a whirlwind.
I have had yearbook, sem council, homecoming, and ensemble stuff!
but it's been well worth it.
mostly because summer is almost here.
the fact that i only went to one class today might mean that it's even closer than I think.
thank goodness.
