Hot and Humid

I was asked to go to girls camp this year as a second year leader. I wasn't to sure I wanted to go because I am not really a camper and I don't enjoy sleeping in a tent in the heat. But because I was Sophie's leader and I want camp to be great for her of course I said yes. There were a few rough spots but over all I had a great time and would go again next year if they wanted me.

My Old Settlers Ward after our testimony meeting.

These great ladies were my cabin moms. I loved getting to know women outside my ward. Creshel was my tent mate and so much fun. (she has on the brown shirt)

These are the tents the girls stayed in. Small and hot.

Me with Holly and Lisa glad to be in the shade for a minute.

My level 2 girls were in charge of the flag every morning. They did a great job.

Me and my girl. Look at all those freckles. Do you like my flower? Creshel made those for all the girls in our level. I wore my every day. It's amazing what a flower can do for you when you feel like a hot sweaty pig.

The girls got a few hours of free time every day when they could pick their activity. Sophie decided to go to BB guns. We do live in Texas you know.

What a cute girl. I am so excited to see a flower in her hair after all these years of no bows and flowers. I think she might even even wear it after camp.





I wish I would have taken more pictures but I was just to hot to care. Here are some of the highlight anyway.

1. The pouring rain on Thursday. Not just any rain but a huge storm. This meant a whole afternoon hanging out in the dining hall air conditioning.

2. My tent after the storm. No need to go to the pool we had our own in our tent and on my bed.

3. Tortillas. You better like them because we had chicken wraps, chicken tacos, regular tacos, and breakfast tacos. That's right if you can put it in a tortilla we had it.

4.Our cute crafts. I lived for theses because they were in the dining hall where it was air conditioned.

5. The girls pounding on the tables at every meal. I know they love the songs with the pounding and clapping but please stop.

6. The Sonic runs. I have never loved a large Diet Coke with lots of ice so much.
7. No cold water. Can you think of anything more refreshing on a hot day than a hot shower in a small cement room with no ventilation?

8. Our very cute decorations at our camp site. It wasn't a competition but we totally one. We had flowers at every girls tent with their name, paper lanterns hanging from our pavilion, christmas lights and our huge cool flag that all the girls signed.

I am sure there is more but I have blocked it all out. It's kind of like child birth. After it's over you can only remember the good stuff.
