Twigs and summer jobs...

The twigs were working machines this summer. 

Hunter had two jobs. His full-time job was working outside all day. 

His hair got lighter (if that was possible) and his skin got darker. 

 

He'd come home after work and play ball with the dog 

until the next thing you knew he was dead asleep.

We sure enjoyed his entertaining stories around the dinner table.

One day he came home with scrapes and punctures on his legs 

and a huge appreciation for Russian Olive Trees and their crazy thorns.

His second job was working several evenings a week at our friends 

Hokulia Hawaiian Shave Ice stand. 

 

I think if you asked him, totally his favorite thing about his jobs this summer 

was the people he got to work with.    :)

Our girlie only had one job this summer but it was a doozie. 

She worked 72-hour weeks as a counselor at a BSA Cub Scout Day Camp.

Just like her brother, her hair got lighter and her skin got darker. 

She was conscientious to not take pictures while working 

(and I couldn't stalk her like I did her brother to snap a few pictures) 

so she only got a couple selfies of the staffers on the bus ride home. 

 

  

She's crazy about children so working with them all day 

was a dream come true for her! 

 (These pictures are from the Camp Website.)

We loved her entertaining stories around the dinner table too. 

More than once she got a tear in her eye while telling 

about her fun times with the children. 

 

Like her brother, if you asked her, she'd say her favorite thing 

about her summer job was the people.  :)
