Previously, On Girls Camp 2012......

The most important part of girls camp, is the pre-camp campout. We are fortunate enough to have a yw leader with a nice big yard and a fire pit :)  We had to share the yard with the goats and chickens, but we didn't mind.....I wish I had taken pics of the girls playing with the electric fence lol!! 

Just a few of the shoes we painted for camp....
And a few more....
Milking the goats
Found a snake in the chickens.....
He had eaten an egg....the girls wanted to chop it's head off and give the egg back to the chickens....
After we had traumatized it a bit, it barfed up the egg which turned out to be an old PLASTIC easter egg.....stupid snake lol!
The girls were in charge of bringing their own dinner.....we saw some pretty interesting things being roasted over the fire on sticks.....including but not limited to a bagel....
Playing a game called Zap...HILARIOUS!!!! Wish I had videoed it LOL!!
Peanut butter and banana smores...yummy!

50 Miles

Calvin got to participate in a 50 mile hike with his scout troop this summer. 
He survived :)

Day 1- The Appalachian Trail
They lost a few guys the first couple days, but Calvin wasn't one of them!
Letting his blisters air out....
Snack!
He took some great pics
Very green....
Great view from up there...
Finally home :)

My Favorite Time Of Year.....

Girls camp has become my favorite time of year. It's also the most stressful, but that's a different story lol! I love going, and I'm so grateful to be able to spend that week each year with my 2 girls as well :)  This year, the girls in my ward (Severn) totally rocked 2 events. The first was Latter Day Lyrics, where you change the lyrics in a regular song to be about church. The second was a 20 minute theme presentation we were assigned on the subject of enriching our testimonies. I was so proud of them all! I hope they never release me :)
