Sunday- I’m getting together the things I’m going to need for Girls Camp later this week. My girls are also getting their things together and packed in their bags. I love the checklist the camp leaders handed out to the girls. Now I don’t have to nag mine to make sure they have everything packed for camp. Well, maybe just a little. I have to make sure they don’t forget the 2 most important things to bring to camp. You wouldn’t believe how many girls forget their books.
Monday- We haven’t had rain for weeks. Girls Camp is tomorrow and this is how the sky looks this evening. Figures, doesn’t it?
Tuesday- We hiked up Adam’s Canyon before we headed up to Girls Camp. We got an early start, about 7:30am, which was a good thing since the temperature rose to 96 degrees. The hike is steep with loose sand at the beginning of the trail, but becomes easier toward the top. It’s a beautiful hike with small falls and shade covering the last part of the trail. The girls were so prepared for the hike and didn’t complain even once. Jessica gave us a lesson on the atonement at different stops along the way. It was a wonderful experience.
Wednesday- Is there anything better than sitting around a campfire in the early evening? The weather was beautiful during the day. We had some rain in the evening as we were getting ready to go to our tents. It didn’t rain much. Just enough to enjoy the sound of the drops hitting the tent as I was falling asleep.
Thursday- We headed for East Canyon in the late morning. The girls were hot and ready to spend some time in the cool water. Gary brought up his big floating island for the girls to enjoy and boy did they. Jumping on and off over and over again. After an hour or so the leaders got a turn on it. I wish I had one of these. My kids would love it.
Friday– Ammon’s been so excited to spend the night at Whitney and Ty’s since they moved up here. It’s all he’s been talking about for weeks. Zach and Ammon had a great time. They ate dinner with them, hung out in Ty’s parents hot tub, ate snacks and watched movies. Whitney made them pancakes for breakfast the next morning, which they love. And they had a fun time playing with Maddux. Look how happy they are to be spending time with their sister.
Saturday- Hubby wanted to swim and invited everyone to join him. I guess it didn’t matter to anyone that it was raining, except for Ammon. He got out as soon as he heard the thunder. He still gets thunder and lightening confused and he wasn’t about to take any chances. If this picture doesn’t prove my family is crazy I don’t know what does.
