Girl's Camp Day 4 & 5

On to Day 4. This was a more relaxing, play day for all. There was a bit of a chill on the air because of a storm that had hit during the night. It actually rained around 6:30 Wed. night, but only for a while. I ended up being woken up during the night because of some darn thunderstorms and showers. I'm too light of a sleeper (ARRGGH!).

We did a makeup game where one set of girls are blindfolded and they put make up on the girls who aren't, and then they swap. It ended up being a really great experience that I don't think us as leaders expected.

Here's a few photos of the beauties.

They did certifications this afternoon (and yesterday afternoon) so the leaders and the bishop all got to rest or nap, if they wanted. After certifications, Lisa had planned a few games. She actually had waterballoons filled on Tues. afternoon but we didn't have time or the weather didn't cooperate with us to play games until today. They did a waterballoon toss and a ball game. The ball game was a pattern... you throw it to the same person and catch from the same person. After a little while of playing with one or two balls, everyone gets a ball except two people.

Learning the game:

Once they got the hang of it, they were up for a challenge and played around the flag pole.

That evening I had put together a "fudge hike". This is where they walk along a trail and at each "station" they receive an ingredient that goes into their ziploc bag and a message about one of the YW values. As they walk station to station, they squish the ingredients together and at the end of the hike, they have made fudge. The girls really had fun doing this. Then we put together a campfire and settled in for our Testimony Meeting.

DAY 5

This is the morning we got up, packed, ate, and left. That is almost as quick as we did it, too. We had to be checked out by 11. One of my leaders that drove took home 5 others with her, she had to leave at 9. I was with her....let's get it done and clear out. The camp hosts had to do an inspection. I couldn't get a camp host to our place until 9:15 and then because one cabin was not quite finished with mopping, she returned at 9:40. We left at 9:50 and it took us an hour and half to get home. After unpacking food and vehicles, I got home at 12:30.

By 2:30 Casey, the kids, and I were on the road to Denver. We went to visit his brother and this was the only weekend that had worked for us to get there.
