BOOT Camp 2014

I was privileged to go to Girl's Camp this year!!  My dream has come true :).  It had been so long!  We had such a great time!  The highlight of course being that my favorite little Charity was there with me.  I wish I would have posted about it right when I got home, sharing every last detail and rambling on forever, but alas, I have neglected my blog!  I am about three weeks behind all of a sudden.  So I will just keep it simple.  The theme was "BOOT CAMP" (Building On Our Testimonies), it was Stake camp.  The Stake did a FANTASTIC job on the whole thing, every speaker was spot on and every activity was just perfect.  The food was amazing.  It was so nice. I loved spending the time with the Young Women.  I felt like I was able to get to know them all a little better.  I didn't even know some of the Laurels before now, so it was a lot of fun to watch them put Charity up on a pedestal and treat her like the Queen of the World.  They really made her feel special.  I was really impressed with how much love the older girls showed the younger ones.  They really just took them under their wings.  Made me so happy!  I don't remember being quite that cool when I was their age.  I didn't love the ropes course, surprisingly, it was not as well done as I'd hoped.  I think our group got ripped off.  It's all good though, no hard feelings.  Luckily we made up for it during the rest of the week.  I LOVED the day at the lake.  That was probably my favorite part.  I enjoyed spending time with everyone and just having fun.  Being tipped over in the canoe was probably the coolest moment there.  Took me back to my days with Andrea :).  Seeing Saturn was pretty awesome.  I really liked when a couple of the girls and I went and played Volleyball- that was a lot of fun even though it was short lived and ended with Charity breaking her finger.  I liked the song that we sang every morning, Come Unto Christ.  And of course, my very most favorite part of the whole week was testimony night.  Such a cool Spirit that can only accompany Girls camp.  I miss that.  I'm so glad I got to be part of it all.  Thanks to Nate, Kelly, Heidi and my Mom, I was able to go for the whole time.  It really meant a lot to me, so I'm grateful it was possible.   Favorite line: "Why do you smell so bad?"  Hilarious.  7-30-14--8-2-14

Sadly, this is the only picture I took of Girls Camp!  My camera was full so much this summer and required so much deleting, I just didn't get many pictures... kinda bums me out.
