a day in the life of a globe-trotter...: Survey says, 6 out of 7 dwarves not Happy

Not that that has much of anything to do with my life, other than it made me chuckle. And that's worthy of sharing isn't it?

Well, it's our last day in Winnipeg - we're meeting up bright and early tomorrow morning to drive over to Banff. And when I say bright and early I mean it... we're meeting up at 5:30 am tomorrow. Although, I'm not gonna lie, I do enjoy driving into the sunrise! Unfortunately we're driving west, which means the sunrise will be behind us. Shoot.

As to what's been happening over the last week... not too much really. It's been super relaxing and full of laughs (as you'll see when we get to the photo section of this post... which will be, now!)

Raf, Sandy, Myrielle, Steve

We had a coffee house and it was just hilarious! Us leaders got the ball rolling with that age-old "Is it time yet?" skit... Thank-you Town Family Reunion!

Raf, Myrielle, Joseph

Along with the funniest "Jebi Fight" I've ever seen (starting right off the bat with a typo - he meant to write 'Jedi' haha), we managed to trick a couple of guys in the second leader skit, who unknowingly got their toenails painted hot pink. The double takes when they actually caught sight of their toes just made my day!

We've also spent some time just playing. Ultimate Frisbee and Rugby have been the popular choices. I have also discovered that I bruise really really really easily... I looked slightly battered at the end of the rugby game, but it was so worth it. It's such a fantastic sport.

Part of the deal with the camp we were at included us working with the maintenance crew for a couple service days. We grabbed our work gloves and (well I guess I can't say this for everyone) had an absolute blast! I just loved being outside and working hard and I even got to use a chainsaw at the end of the day! Woohoo!

We threw a couple dress-up days in there for a laugh, and I decided to show you a picture or two from "Twin Day", since I don't think the boys would have appreciated the pictures from our "Dress up as someone else" day...

Joshua, Caity, Tessa and Jake

I think the best part of this shot is that Jake taped... well I'm actually not too sure what that is, but he taped twigs (?) to his chin to make a goatee

Raf and Mimi might have won the day though...

The next entertaining event was our synchronized swimming competition... I nearly died of asphyxiation at the poolside because I was laughing SO hard!

Once again, we leaders started things off with a routine to the BeeGee's famous "Staying Alive", complete with the Dead Man's Float during the chorus.

Mike diving... I believe his sternum was the first thing to enter the water...

But the highlight of the night was the last group of boys - they spent 5 hours practising and making their own song! It was totally weird, but just hysterical.
