We made it!
We did it. (me, Sister Ashworth and Sister Grover!)
I am home from Girls Camp.
What a fun, amazing, hard working week!
exhausted (NO sleep! maybe 5 hrs a night), dirty, but so uplifted (love those girls) and happy with the results!
My theme turned out well (yay!), my decorations, and devotionals too..!
oh what a relief :)
I will chat more laters.
I have to clean up from camp, unpack, head on out to Jake's tourney,
the twins have EFY in Denver,
the house needs an overhaul, and school starts in a week!
(oh and Austin has a talk in church tomorrow!
( a General Authority, Area Seventy, and the Stake Presidency
will be there. No pressure right?! :) He will do great!
off to life..!
(p.s took some pics of camp. It was just like the old Parent Trap movie...
Camp was up in the gorgeous mountain pines.
Each ward with a cabin, OURS..25 bunk beds lining the wall, a mess hall down the way,
an outdoor chapel, a meadow, and a big open fire pit. All spread out amongst the mtns.
It was absolutely beautiful there :)
x0!
Ok, I have time...here our some of the fun
h i g h l i g h t s:
~Secret Sisters...Each girl got a special secret sis. One for our ward and one for the Stake.
(The girls loved to give and receive fun treats, bookmarks, quotes, treats..etc)
~Each night, us Leaders would leave a treats with a quote on their pillow.
~crafts: string bracelets, homemade journals, (so cute!) and little bags with cute decor
~Fun, happy camp songs around the fire pit
~certifications: first aid, knots..etc. I was in charge of Constellations..it was a fun class.
~Water games in the meadow
~scripture study in the quiet mountain top
~devotionals by me. "Royal Princess Daughters"
along with song, scripture, and a lesson.
~testimonies by the fire light (with our Bishop who drove ALL the way up Thurs night
and he brought homemade brownines and icecream! :)
~late night "nice" pranks to each ward cabin
(heart attacked with hearts and Hershey kisses, You've been mooned with cut out moons and treats..etc)
~I made handouts, bookmarks and inspirational quotes for each girl each day :)
~staying up till 1:00 A.M every night and waking up for
PK duty and fire pit devotionals at 6:00 A.M. (umm, yes, I AM TIRED!)
~Us Leaders silly stringing the girls at midnight :)
~Overall, Girls camp was amazing. And so great for the girls.
It is so important for their little testimonies to grow, and to learn, and to understand how important they are to their Heavenly Father.
I LOVED being apart of that :)
and today, by the way, I get a NEW CALLING!
that has to do with the girls....yay!

It sounds like it was a huge success!! I am so happy for you, and that you got to go with Ashly. I am excited to hear more about it, call me soon. Loves
You made it!! Awesome. I'm sure it was fabulous. I can't believe you sleep in cabins. You probably got showers too. Spoiled. I guess you were princesses afterall. I just barely did my camp post one month late and you already have yours done. Do you feel like a big weight has been lifted. I know I did. Great job lady! Now relax in Maui!
Oh W.O.W. Your camp sounds so fun and amazing. I would love to have had YOU for my leader! And so great for Ashes that her first camp included you. Wonderful memories for you both. I am proud of you.
Hey friend!!
I don't know if you know this but the comment option isn't showing up under your latest posts! Maybe you want them that way but I just thought I should let you know :)
Oh my word...your trip to Hawaii looked amazing! I'm so glad that the two of you were able to sneak away and enjoy some alone time. And having the most beautiful scenery was a plus too :) Hope you are doing good and I'm sure you are loving the Fall in CO right now. In AZ it is still triple digit heat. UGH..... look at a colorful leaf for me, okay?!
