And THIS is what I’ve been busy with since last November!!…
I have a new-found respect for all the leaders who made all my girls camps so awesome- its a TON of work! But.. in the end, it is so worth it, it turned out awesome!
President Monson gave a great talk on building a Firm Foundation on Prayer, Scripture Study & Service & so we used these for the daily themes- it all tied together amazingly!
We took the YCL’s up for a retreat prior to camp- and can I just say our YCLs were awesome!! They made camp incredible this year!
These were the only scenic pictures I got- Isn’t it absolutely gorgeous?!
The camp was awesome- there were several lakes, these great little cabins for each group, firepits, an amphitheater and a lodge for cooking- it was the perfect setup!
Down by the lake during free ttime- it got pretty toasty, the cold water felt awesome!
Me & Kelli- the YCLs went up a night early to setup- we were SO excited for the girls to come!
We got to do a special overnighter with the 4th years.. it was a “really long” hike (wink wink)
Did I mention it was hot?! Me & Rhaine hanging out in the shade
Sis. Berg barking out orders!
Some of my favorite girls!!
My birthday surprise! My girls are the BEST!! They wrote me goofy notes & left me little treats- I was just so touched that they remembered, I felt SO loved!
Our incredible kitchen ladies (I mean REALLY incredible) remembered our birthdays too! I think having a birthday at camp is the greatest!
The leaders learned & danced Thriller… I’m thinking it was probably a lot scarier looking than we had anticipated… (I’m on the far right since I’m not recognizable!)
I thought it was kind of appropriate that the only leader picture we got together was dressed as zombies… that's pretty much what we were by the end of camp anyway!
The whole lot of us- sure was a fun group!
Last day of camp- I sure am tired!!
Me & some of my other favorite ladies- headed home on the bus, ready for showers & bed!
“Remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.”
Helaman 5:12

You have been so busy! I love that you're still smiling on the last day when you're so tired. That's my girl! Also, that's pretty cute how your girls decorated your birthday bunk.
Oh I am so glad you are blogging again. You did a wonderful job on camp and I am sure the girls and you LOVED it! That is awesome that the girls decorated your bunk.
I know that you feel blessed but I think those girls were/are lucky to have you! Especially since you carried on the birthday tradition :p
Where was all this? Your pictures make me want to go visit!
One request...can I see you perform Thriller? :) Not even joking!
I love all the updates from camp, yellowstone and jamie's graduation. didn't know rob passed out, hope all is good now. miss you guys and can't wait to see you for thanksgiving
You are AMAZING! I would have loved to come to girls camp with you. I too want to see your thriller dance. How fun. You rock. Lucky YW!
I guess I don't have a good excuse for commenting MONTHS after you wrote about it, but good job! That is such a hard calling! Hope you guys are doing well in Colorado and you are welcome up here anytime, although you should probably know it's been 30 below all week, so you might want to hold off until January...that's when it gets really cold. :)
