ellen's beloved teacher laurie. the kids were walking up this and jumping off into inner tubes...ellen actually did this the first week, but didn't want to this day for some reason...so she helped teacher laurie be a "lifeguard". we make a big parachute tent and sit there and sing songs for a bit (not all the 'teachers' do this - just super cool teacher laurie) that lady in the white there is my friend, but i don't know her name. her daughter in the blue is Dima and only speaks arabic so ellen and she don't do a lot of chatting. more looking at each other and 'discussing' who is going to talk to isaiah. serious horse rocking
