Second day of work - Can't take the heat !!

So yesterday , it was beyond hot ! the humidity made it so much worse too . i don't know how i'm gonna make it all summer in this heat ! outside all day everyday ! i literally can't take the heat ! ;) lol but my day was still good :) me ad my group went for a walk to a nearby park in the morning and played games . we came back with enough time to chill for a bit and then have lunch ! after lunch , everyday we get to go swimming !! its like , my favorite part of the day , just getting to cool off from all the heat . so we swam and played at the park for the last 2 hours . at 3 , when all the kids go home , i haveta stay for another hour with the day care for the kids that aren't getting picked up right away , so we stayed outside and the kids did face paint and played more games . it was so nice to finally go home , after being outside all day !! i was gonna go for another swim when i got home , but once i sat down , i didn't wanna get back up !! this job is going to tire me out fast !
we had dinner as a family last night , alex manon caroline and me :) its nice to have family dinners just like i do at home ; the only difference though is that i don't quite understand the conversation lol i'm starting to pick up on a few things though .
it was still super hot by the time i was going to bed , so it was a bit of an uncomfortable sleep lol way too hot !!

today , i'd say has been the best out of the 3 for working so far !! :) i'm starting to understand alot more words and can pick up on the just of the conversation . it was "circus day" today at camp , so all the leaders dressed up as circus characters , and all the kids rotated from station to station playing different games related to the circus . so i helped out with one of the leaders at her station ( y ) we did that all this morning , and then had lunch at regular time , and swam and played at the park again . it's looking like everyday from lunch on , its gonna be the same , swimming and the park until 3 . so i'm looking forward to a swim everyday !! lol i worked til 3:30 today , so i stayed with the day care for a bit . i went to sit with a little girl , and we had a small conversation but it was cool , cause i actually understood most of what she was saying ! lol the french here is way different then the french we learn in school ; after all the slang is added in , and they talk so fast its hard to understand . i guess it would be the same for the quebec kids in ontario lol
anyway , i think im gonna go for a swim before dinner , and miniput !! but i might add another little blurb later after i get home from miniput . :)

  1. Hey Emmer,

    This is great being able to read your (almost) daily blogs. I'm really enjoying them. Sounds like you are having a great time, with the exception of the heat. It's stinkin' hot here too as I'm sure you've heard. Supposed to cool down to 25C tomorrow.

    Was looking at your schedule while you are there. Wow--you've got a lot of fun things planned. Your time there is just going to fly by. I hope you're taking LOTS of pictures so that I can look at them when you get home.

    Speaking of which, I guess you've heard that we'll be visiting when you get home with all 3 of our boys! And Uncle Stuey, of course! Want to take Gabe tree-top trekking because I think he'd really enjoy it. Plus, we really want to do it again anyway.

    Look forward to reading more blogs. Hope you have a good night.

    Luv you,
    Auntie Mona
