I survived girls camp!

I went to girls camp last week and got no sleep, only had one shower in 3 1/2 days, cried a little, laughed a lot and had the best time. I really loved being there and I grew to love the YW in my ward even more. They were AMAZING throughout the entire camp. I am so grateful to my awesome husband who held things down out home so I could go. Thanks Louise and Rachel for helping out with my kids, too. You are the best. Here are a few highlights!!!


"Once Upon a Princess"


Leaving the stake center--clean and enthusiastic!

Anyone who has spent any amount of time with me in the last month knows how much I have stressed about the ward teaching time I was responsible for at camp. I changed my mind a million times about what to do but the inspiration came and I ended up giving a little lesson on how being "loyal to the royal in you" is to "BE YOU." I had the idea to make these mirrors (from Ikea) with vinyl lettering. They turned out just how I envisioned them and I think the girls appreciated receiving them. I ran out of time and didn't get to put rhinestones on them but Albert did put the rhinestones on this one for me. I love how they turned out!!


Skit practice. (We made these 7 dwarfs hats from knee highs and batting. Very funny!)

Ward leaders---Christina, Amy, Me, Kim and Felicia--these ladies are absolutely amazing!! I wouldn't have wanted to be there with anyone else.


Felicia (Sister Voss) rocks at knife throwing!!!!

The last day--a little dirty and tired but still enthusiastic!!

These pictures turned out so cute! Who knew sweet Felicia would enjoy throwing those knives so much. Hopefully there isn't a picture of "the different side of our personalities" that will surface. I had a blast with all of you!

Yeah! It so fun to go to camp! But I'm always glad when it's over! I'm jealous! I still get to go to camp! We leave on July 16th! It looks like you had fun! ~Diane
