Girls Camp--The Camp

What a week! I can't believe I'm sitting here at home again already. In a nutshell, it was awesome. The 15 girls got along great, the leaders were wonderful, the men were helpful and fun to hang out with, the beaches were gorgeous, the food was superior, the performances were amazing (skit night, Laurel presentation), and to cap it all off, the testimony meeting was beautiful and every girl participated.

Sorry to any of you who love your church service, but I have the best calling and girls ever.

Our motto was "steadfast and immovable" and we had a nautical motif. This is the lighthouse the beckoned the girls. (It was temperamental.)


These are the tent names: G.S. Lolli (leaders), K.C.N.L Legacy (Laurels--the girls' initials), Flying Dutchmen (Beehives--apparently they got this from Sponge Bob?), and Black Pearl (Mia Maids).





Since the leaders were the Good Ship Lollipop, we had a store where the girls could buy treats with their coupons they earned for service. Our two incredibly talented camp cooks made these adorable signs. One is the "store" offerings, the other the cooking help rotation.

The Bishopric blow bubbles at the girls.


Guess what we found in the supply tent . . . this . . .


And this . . .


And finally this! Naughty little critter!

Apparently while we were at the beach one day the squirrels unzipped all of our tents and foraged for food. They struck gold in the Beehives tent and ripped open the Fritos bag, chewed up their gum, and demolished the candies. After that, we kept our tents zipped to the top. But when it came to clean-up duty and the supply tent, someone evidently forgot.

In addition to all this, we went on a 5-mile hike (almost to the tallest peak in Orange County).
