** Points iPod at the Stereo and puts on MLK **

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thunder cloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Rain down on him
So let it be
So let it be


Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thundercloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Let it rain
Rain on him

*curls up in Tim's lap and closes eyes*

Some of my dreams have been realized
 
OK, so here's a little bit of a background on this. Every year, the school board sends all the Grade 7 French immersion students to a French Camp for 4 days to Université Sainte-Anne, on the Acadian Shore here in Nova Scotia.

Since I work at a school with two Grade 7 French classes, I was asked to come along on the trip as a chaperone. They're the greatest bunch of 12 and 13 year olds you'll find on this planet, I promise you that.

All these are in chronological order.

18716Campus_from_the_Gazebo.jpg

This is a shot of the campus from the huge marsh between campus and Baie Sainte-Marie. Taken during an activity the kids did during a nature walk where they had to make a "nature snowman" (a "bonhomme-nature", as the counselors called it) from stuff found in nature.

18716Daniel.jpg

This is a kid named Daniel who's showing off a reed he found in the marsh.

18716Group_Shot_1.jpg

Some of the kids during the building of their "nature snowman".

18716Cam.jpg

This is Cam, with some of the stuff he found in the marsh.

18716Mark.jpg

This kid in front with the huge pieces of driftwood is Mark. Also in front is Brandon, with a piece of driftwood he found that, according to him, is shaped like some kind of elephant gun.

18716Charlie_s_Angels.jpg

This is what I like to call the Charlie's Angels shot. This is Brandon (again with the Elephant Gun), Justin, and Kaleigh holding a plank of some sort.

18716Michael_W.jpg

This is Michael W, staring directly into the Sun.

18716Group_Shot_2.jpg

More of the kids during the "nature snowman" activity.

18716Les_Filles_1.jpg

This is "Les Filles" (The Girls) on the balcony of their residence, taken from the balcony of the boys' residence during some sort of shouting match at other schools in the rain.

More to come! :D
 
Nice piccies, Dave! :up:

I'm out, everyone...see you suckers never! :wave:

(Okay, except for Ewen, who I'll see in a few minutes.)

(Okay, I'll see you Monday.)

(Okay, BYE!!!)
 
18716Flag_Streakers_1.jpg

There's a big flag with the school's name and logo painted onto it that one of the teachers brought with her. During this shouting match (see previous post), some of the kids grabbed it and just started running around the campus with it screaming their heads off. This is them leaving...

18716Flag_Streakers_2.jpg

...and this is them coming back with the flag.

18716Flag_Streakers_3.jpg

Once I finally got them to stand still and hold the flag, this is the picture that came out.

18716Justin.jpg

Later that day, the kids went to the pool. While I was swimming, one of the teachers took this picture of Justin.

18716Sasha.jpg

I think I was trying to take a picture of the kids in behind here, but Sasha ran across looking like she was about to choke someone to death.

18716Cam_Running_Away.jpg

This is Cam starting to run away from me for some reason.

18716Bruce_and_Mike.jpg

And here we have Mike S. and Bruce. Mike S kicked me in the balls last night because I correctly guessed the girl he has a crush on and blurted it out by mistake. It was accidental though.

18716Cam_the_Gangsta.jpg

Cam, having stolen Mike S.'s hat, is now putting on his best gangsta pose.

18716Choke_Hold.jpg

This is Justin putting some sort of choke hold on Brandon (it was done jokingly). Walking out of frame on the right side is Alex W, and standing in back looking like he's singing to himself is Daniel again.

18716Les_Filles_Qui_Parlent.jpg

Some of the girls chatting away on the lawn.

Still more on the way!!
 
18716Les_Filles_2.jpg

And here's some of "Les Filles" up close. It's Kara, Lauren, Beth (in back), Tessa, Jenny (in front), Justin (somehow managed to get into the picture without a single person noticing), Kristen, Kaleigh, Sarah, and Makayla. That is, of course, L-R.

18716Autobus_1.jpg

A shot of the left side of the bus on the way home.

18716Autobus_2.jpg

And the right side of the bus.

18716Brandon.jpg

Brandon and his pal snoozing on the bus.

18716Dave.jpg

Yours truly. I was passed a stuffed animal and that crazy pillow and someone happened to have my camera at the time.

18716Dave_Kaleigh.jpg

Me and Kaleigh on the bus trip home. This is a retardulously bad picture of me because my face is smashed up on the headrest of the seat.

18716Sasha_2.jpg

Sasha and Jordan on the bus and goofing around.

18716Girouard_Mercedes.jpg

Alex G lying on Mercedes. I have no idea why this shot is so blurry.

18716Brandon_2.jpg

Brandon waking up from his snooze.

And finally, my favorite shot and my new desktop background...
18716The_Kids.jpg

Here are my kids. Minus 3 girls and 3 boys.

Damn I love those kids.
 
Hello all. I just finished the most awesome sandwich from the most awesome deli. Salami, Prosciutto, sauteed mushrooms, sauteed bell peppers and provolone on dutch crunch bread. :drool:

Genova's Deli :drool:
 
Dave, those are awesome pictures! I work at a junior high and I can relate....it's so easy to get attached to the kids. There are several that I've gotten close to and am dreading their leaving to go to High School. I'm trying to weasel my way into a chaperone position to Europe.... I'd be in heaven!
