Girl's Camp

So...I've been a little out of touch lately. I finally gave in and quit my second job which was requiring a lot more time and stress than I had anticipated. I'm so happy with my decision! I feel a little bit more in control of my life again and I am planning on working on some projects I've been putting off for too long. SO...here's the update.

Girl's Camp! I really really love our little group of young women. This year we had girl's camp with just our ward so we took our group up to a cabin near Causey Damn and had a really exciting and exhausting few days. Some of my favorite memories from that week were:

-Pranks! Rice in sleeping bags, hiding in the bushes, salt on the toothebrush, and WORMS down our shirts.....ah!

-Snipe hunting. What is Girl's Camp without snipe hunting? We had a few young women who were tapping their rocks together and squirting out bits of toothpaste to attract the snipes. ( I had never heard of either of those before...)

-Games, games, games. We played them constantly and I got to see a lot of personalities come out that I didn't know too well before.

-Great classes taught by our stake about some tough topics such as morality, dating, etc.

-A hammock on the back porch of the cabin to take in the quiet and serene surroundings.

-Unbelievable bursts of energy that kick in around 6pm...girls jumping off of the highest point in the cabin onto mattress pads, climbing up to kiss the moose in the entry way, etc.

-Ooga Booga club (have you heard of this? such a funny game).

I love the young women of Eccles Park ward! And thanks to my dear Charlotte who was the perfect little baby and slept through as much of it as possible.

They're telling you how many marshmellows they currently have in their mouths...

We had the girl's create a "spoon doll" in the image of their secret sisters. They turned out to be pretty creative.

Me and my little attachment.

This is what happened if you fell asleep first...
