A Few of my Favorite Things…

The very messy feather boas

Landyn’s face when I told her the girls had to clean the latrines. Icky, I know.

Grace arriving early for kitchen duty and being so helpful

Sister Ewell’s cooking

Receiving personal letters from our parents

Danica screaming about the ice cold shower. I laughed really hard when I realized the hot water heater wasn't connected. (I’m a mean camp director).

Our wonderful skit! Seriously, we rocked the camp.

Watching Kasdyn play “Junk in the Trunk.” That girl can move.

Bri’s smile when she talked about her Dad and family

Maddy P. wrapping her arms around me and saying, “I want nothing more than to go home” when she was homesick. I love big bear hugs.

Watching McCall, Baylie and Brenna and Madison W and Alex interact/love/serve each other. I L.O.V.E sisters! They really are your best friends in life.

Hearing laughter all the time - it’s one of my favorite sounds.

Sydney’s perfect hair – even at camp

Noelle cheering/participating in all the games

Having a stream of running water in our campsite

Megan’s smile

Kacie, Hannah, Emma P. and Maddy P. naming their pet moths – the “bat sized” moth was named Alejandro

Bronte’s curiosity and enthusiam

Watching our fifth years serve as leaders in our ward campsite – yay Bekah, Jessica, Jasmine, Bethany, Lindsey, Tiffany, Brenna and Alex! What would we have done without you guys?

Madelyn volunteering for latrine duty on the last day of camp. Everyone tried to avoid this job and she volunteered to do it. Amazing.

Sister Madsen leaping out of my tent (literally) when I got sick. Poor Sister Madsen. That was really gross. I’m still embarrassed about that.

Meeting and getting to know our non-member friends: Lexi, Ashley, Kallie, Megan, Amanda, Mikki and Abigial. We’re so happy you guys came to camp with us.

Emma B’s sweet disposition

Bro. Pullan and Bro. Dyer crawling out of the itty bitty supply tent they mistakenly assumed was the “priesthood tent.” They slept there all night leaving the big priesthood tent vacant.

Bailey teaching/doing all the cheers

Becca’s wonderful missionary example

Sitting by the campfire

McKenzie’s face when she saw her dad after a few days at camp

Xan told me one day she thought I was pretty. I know this is a silly thing to write, but when a gorgeous girl tells you that you look pretty, it makes your day. I’m still smiling about it. :)

Watching the priesthood in action. A true highlight for me

Our sassy logo

Testimony meeting

Taking a shower when I got home…three times. I was really dirty.

Seeing Bishop every night

The snipe hunt - a traditional favorite

I could go on and on and on…

I really can’t believe camp is already over. What a great week! I hope you all had a wonderful time and always remember the spirit and sweet simplicity of camp.

I miss serving in YW already.
