Another Girls Camp has come and gone.
I still STRONGLY dislike camping.
{Port o’ johns, dirt, bugs and freezing cold temps…BLEH!}
I still STRONGLY love my girls.
{Like. A lot.}
It’s funny how I can dislike something SO much…yet STILL manage to have a fun, spiritual and uplifting experience.
Girls camp….darn you….you did it again!!
{Smile.}
How cute are my girls??!! |
Our color was PURPLE and so each day I gave them some sort of PURPLE accessory to wear in their hair. Scored these purple cheetah hats at the Dollar store!
They LOVED washing each other’s hair during free time. |
Funny how girls that age can be SO SO messy. {And funny how it bugged me SO SO much. One thing I learned? Just Let-it-Go! {Chuckle!} |
Grateful for such FUN and I mean FUN leaders up there.
They were the best!
Don’t believe me?
How many leaders get their KICKS outta putting on a mask and scaring the girls after bedtime?
Other highlights included:
*The Iron Rod walk
* Evening Devotionals
*Our DARLING youth leaders
* Craft time
*Painting nails
*Braids. LOTS of hair braiding.
* Hot scones with honey and sugar.
*Endless amounts of hugs.
*Campsite mail.
*Ward chants and cheers.
* Having our 4th years visit on Friday.
*Hearing the girls chit chat.
*Chit Chatting with the leaders.
*Skits.
*Singing the camp song.
*Bishopric night.
*Laying on our hammock, feelin the breeeze.
Good times indeed.
Truly grateful for this experience.
Still to come this week:
Our camping decor, pillow treats and LOTS of free printables!
xoxo
It’s good to be back!
