More Camp.....

So another fun thing on Thursday afternoon was the little hike we took the girls on. A couple years ago Justin found a neat waterfall on a boy scout hike. It's been a favorite spot of ours ever since. We had so much fun wading & playing in the water. Of course we had to sit in the warmish water to have our day spa. It's actually a warm water from a spring. The biggest excitement was when my flip flop was ripped off my foot by the rushing water & everyone had to search for it. There was no way I was hiking out without a shoe on (such as it was) so Elian came to my rescue & dove into the most rapid part of the waterfall to rescue my shoe. At last I could hike out without being shoeless. Thanks Elian! :)

Girls Camp 2011

The month of July was an extremely busy one for our family. Eve & I went to Girls Camp for one of those weeks. It was fun as always. The girls are great. It always is a great bonding for the girls & leaders alike. The camp leaders were incredible. They spent so much time preparing things for camp. On Thursday we had a really fun day. We had all sorts of activities going on around us. I was able to rapell for the first time. It was really weird. I thought for sure I would be all shaky and scared going down but it was incredible! I loved it. The hardest part was trying to get the rope fed through to get started. After that it was a blast. I even turned upside down. I was able to go down the rock twice. I can't wait until I can do it again. The weird thing is....I'm usually a scaredy cat, but not this time. Not even shaky legs when I got down. Pretty awesome, or so I thought!

I think the girls all had a blast too! It's always a fun day at camp.

As you can see our trusty bolay man, a.k.a. Shane Williams was having a great time also. lol All in all camp was great!

Even More YWIE

So, I saved the best post for last.....the food! It was absolutely incredible.

mmmm....dipped strawberries, dipped marshmallows, cotton candy, cupcakes with a crown, pixie stix, homemade strawberry oreos, chicken salad sandwiches. I could go on & on........


I think this was definitely a spread put on for royalty!


I always say I have such wonderful Young Women's leaders serving with me. With many hands we were able to have an incredible evening! One to always remember...

More YWIE

This post is of our decorations for our Young Women in Excellence program. Thought I'd let you take a peek to see the fun we had.

These are the crowns & wands we gave the girls.

The "Princess Mirror" they used to put their crowns on.

As the girls came through the door they were introduced one by one. They came through the archway, did a twirl, curtsy or whatever they wanted to be in the spotlight at the moment.

Young Women in Excellence

Last night we had our Young Women in Excellence program. Our theme was based on Pres. Uchtdorf's message from the YW broadcast, "Your Happily Ever After." We had the girls dress in their best Princess dresses (formals). They were all so incredibly beautiful. During the program they all got up & sang "Daughter of a King". It brought tears to my eyes. These girls truly are royal daughters of God. I hope each one of them realizes how wonderful they truly are. It was so much fun to get to pamper them & let them have a moment to shine.
