Girls Camp 2009 - Happy Hippies

We had our girls camp several weeks ago, and one of the things I forgot to pack in my suitcase was my camera. So I was able to get some pictures from a couple of our leaders (thanks ladies). It was a very successful three days full of food, activities, food, games, food, certification, food, devotionals, food, skits, and lots of laughs, did I mention food??? We had a awesome camp director, Amanda Stephan, she worked so hard before camp and while we were there, you were amazing Amanda, thanks for all your hard work. We have wonderful YW leaders and it was so fun being with them for 3 days I am lucky to have them in my life.

I have to say we have the best youth around, I have such a love for these young women and am so lucky to be one of their leaders. The sad part of camp was that my sweet Jakelle wasn't able to be there with me, she was so sick and not moving very well. I really missed her and so did the girls, all they could say was its not the same without Jelly.

Here is my Top Ten list of best things about camp...

10. Watching the girls give their secret sister gifts without them seeing.
9. Sleeping in a tent with awesome leaders.
8. Seeing the girls bond with each other and helping each other with the chores.
7. Watching their cooking skills (they can make a mean meal).
6. Seeing how much junk food these girls can down.
5. The look on Bro. Postert's face when we would all warm water and wash our faces
before bed. In fact, seeing Bro. Postert's face the whole time we were there.
Yes, we are different from the Scouts.
4. Fidning a manican head named Kurt in my sleeping bag. (love ya Lexi & Tori)
3. Watching the girls practice their skit, laughing and smiling the whole time.
2. Sitting and talking to the girls about things they are involved in at school, etc.
1. Listening to the sweet testimonies of these young women and how much they love
the gospel, their parents and their Heavenly Father. They have truly strengthened my testimony as well.
