Girls Camp

Still playing a little catch up...

Last week we had girls camp in our ward. It was a lot of fun, but it was a lot of work to get there. It seemed like things just kept falling apart before we got it all put together. But, alas, it happened and we had a good time. We went down to a place called "Lake Hill" near Ephraim, which is really pretty.

Here are some pictures:

This is our camp site at Lake Hill. We actually had pretty good weather, for the most part. We had 8 girls 3 leaders and 2 priesthood. The site was plenty big for us.

Just another shot of the camp.

This is the lake of Lake Hill. It was right by our camp. It was pretty, but small.

The group working on Memory Boxes. They are boxes for the mothers who lose their babies in the hospital to put the memorabilia's in. It was a good service project. You may wonder if Katie Barnes (the one painting the box) knows where the camera is... I don't think she does, I don't know who she is smiling at. She was great to come down though, she's not in YW anymore, but she helped out big time. Thanks, Katie. Also, classic Sarah glare (front, red shirt).

It started pouring on us Wednesday afternoon, so we decided to pack up and go home. We were going to go home Thursday morning, so it wasn't that much sooner. Plus the girls were complaining that their sleeping bags were starting to get wet. It worked out for the best because then we got the entire bishopric and entire YW presidency there for testimony meeting, which we held in one of the ward members back yard at their fire pit.

I love that you made memory boxes. I have one, but it is not nearly as cute as the ones the girls decorated! I know how much those will mean to those families who get them. Tell the girls "Thank you" for me -- even though I don't have one of theirs. Miss them!
