Girl's Camp and Youth Conference 2012

The Last Summer Post

Here is the last catch-up-from-summer post.

June 27th-30th we had ward Young Women Camp.  All three girls and I went to Payson canyon to our camp leader's family property.  The boys went to Grandma's and Laurie's house while Dad worked.  Dad took them to DQ after baseball games, ordered pizza one night and bought new water toys for Saturday.  They were fine without us.  (Joshua was more willing to let Dad help him after that too.  (He is a momma's boy.)  An added bonus.)  During camp we set up tents, made journals, necklaces and bracelets; had great speakers; spent the day at Payson Lakes; and hiked the Grotto trail -- a short hike to a waterfall.  The water trips were great for cooling off.  Our speakers really brought the Spirit which is what Girl's Camp is all about.

The week before school started (August 14th-16th) was Youth Conference.  I went up the second day and night and then drove home.  Again there were great speakers who taught well, good food and fun activities.
