Our wards' young women went to girls camp two weeks ago. It was a lot of fun. We kept really busy and wore those girls out.
Here is our mail post. I found the idea of the pots on sugardoodle (my favorite website ever!!). My counselor, Sandra, decorated them. She did such a great job. David built this stand for all the "mailboxes" to sit on. It's always so much fun doing "secret sisters". Pretty sure this is the cutest post office ever!!!
Sandra, Annette and I shared a tent. This is Sandra's bed. Can you see the tent bulging? It was even bulging out of the doorway. It was a 3 foot high queen size air mattress that she had all to herself. Oh wait, she shared it with two large body pillows and one regular pillow:) Annette and I shared a queen size air bed that was just about 6 inches thick. And can you see that headboard? SO FUNNY! Sandra sure knows how to camp!!!
We did some swimming there. Here's Bishop racing the girls across the pool.
We went on a crazy long hike on Thursday morning. We knew it would get hot, so we got up at 5am and got started. While we were on the hike we went geo-caching, as well as did mock injuries for first aid certification. The hike was about a mile or so to the first geo-cache (all up hill). Then about two more to the next one. There was a stone house at the second site with this rusty bed and springs outside. Whoever lived there really must have wanted to be left alone. We wondered how he got the bed there.
Here's after the hike. We survived it. Only two real injuries on the way down.
Friday we went to Bates Nut Farm. We had fun sampling the chocolates, eating rock candy, and buying junk food. Then the girls "talked" to the animals. They thought it was funny when the animals talked back.
This is our camp leader, Annette. She isn't even in our ward and helped us. We were so appreciative to her for all she did. She was truly a life saver!! Here she was talking and a fly flew in her mouth and she was choking. Being Miss Certification like I am, I pulled out the camera and took pictures instead of helping her. She survived anyway:)

Our last night we did a "faith hike". It was learning about Christ's life. Our theme was "Faith in Every Footstep". It turned out really well, again thanks to Annette. She put the whole thing together and it was a great way to lead up to our testimony meeting.

Camp is a lot of work, but we had great leaders and it went off beautifully!!
