Barefoot and Crazy

There is 21 days, exactly 3 weeks, until Look Up Lodge officially begins for this ol summer staffer. AND I AM STOKED. I have decided. I am not a shoe person. Last summer I would always take my shoes off and forget where I put them. Oops. There is something about walking around barefoot and crazy. No not with me and my baby. (Song reference. Let's see who gets it.) However, I found that I can wear this one type of shoe and it seems to be close enough to no shoes you can get without having your shoes off-Wow, what a sentence! So when it comes to camp life, the thing I am highly excited about is.... Wait for it.... Chacos!

Chacos are by far the best shoes ever for obvious reasons. I'll tell you why. You can wear them in the lake, while you're running up chapel hill, when you're walking with campers, when you're on cement, when you're on the green grass, when you're inside, when you're outside, BUT NOT in the kitchen during kitchen duty. bummer. See why I love these shoes oh so much? Oh and did I mention these shoes have arch support (for all you arch junkies) and of course it's free flowing with no complete toe or foot covering. The straps are great at holding my foot secure, and I know the back strap never flops.

Chacos can also be a little complicated at times as well... One time I got the toe strap stuck-after being lazy and just slipping my foot over the toe slip, and then had to get a fellow summer staffer to come to the rescue and fix my chaco. In a way the Chacos are like the summer- each part of the chaco plays an important role, whether you're the supporter, the front and center, or behind the scenes making sure things run smoothly. However, when I first got my Chacos, I had no idea how to work them or make them comfortable. After a week or so I finally figured out which strap to pull for what and how to make them better. Same goes for the summer. When you first arrive (new staffer or old) you have to learn how to make the summer work and which area you in your life you need to pull tighter or loosen up to grow in Christ and grow comfortable with the job. Being a summer staffer is all bout adjusting and improving for your campers or even yourself. Who knew you could go so deep with Chacos? I just love em!

Peace. Love. Chacos.
