I have been staying with the Beasock family for over a week now. They have been wonderful! Each one of their kids have their own personality. I don't have a favorite, but Kody reminds me of myself at his age: Loud, obnoxious, and hilarious, with a slight touch of brilliance--if I may say so.

I've had a wonderful time with the Beasock family: There is never a dull moment and I've had great Home-Cooked Meals and they have been very open to me and my camera; Especially at eleven-o'clock at night while tracking dear in the middle of the woods, with my flash going off three-and-a-half feet from their faces all while stepping in blood and messing up their tracking. We didn't find the deer (not my fault!)

I've also had a great time getting in trouble with Christopher: shooting paintballs and BB guns at things we shouldn't have while Mom and Dad were out; And stealing all the candy during Halloween, only to be caught because we didn't hide the wrappers deep enough in the garbage. Amateurs.

It has been a great experience and it's been nice to be able to remove myself from the Village at the end of the day. Kinda like going home to Brooklyn after working all day in the city...but not.

I can't wait to come back up in the winter...they've promised me a great time!
