YW Girls Camp July 10-17

So this summer I got the opportunity to go to Young Women's Camp because I was called as an Asst. Stake Camp Director. It was SOOO much fun! But being that I was going with stake meant I had to leave on the Saturday before the girls came up to get things ready. Dana would be coming up but not until Tuesday. This was a little difficult because I had to make sure she had what she needed before I left. Plus we had to get Martin taken care of since no one would be home with him while Scott was at work. He's a big boy but not that big yet. My sister graciously accepted the opportunity to have him come and hang with her kids and I think that worked out because then they met up with Scott for another opportunity to go on the lake. Anyway this post will be mostly of my 3 days prior to Dana coming. The next post will be pictures while Dana was there.
These were the awesome ladies I spent most of my time with.  Marrae Brunner, Diane Banks, Sherri Cahoon, Debbie Gillespie, me, and Karla Busby.

This was on Sunday we had a really awesome sacrament meeting and then we got more things ready for the girls.  Me, Marrae, Diane, and in back Mary Whipple.

We spent a few evenings playing Rook.  Lots of fun.  This is Gary and Luke Justice, Marrae, and Diane.

Monday morning we got to go with the Stake President for a little ride and see some mountain side.  It was really beautiful and fun to relax before the storm of girls. 

This was just a cool old truck. 

If you click on this picture and enlarge it you might be able to see that there are 4 different drops the water makes. 

This was the start of the water falling.  Diane, me, Pres. Jarvis

Monday the YCL(youth camp leader) girls showed up so Tuesday morning before the rest came we all went on the canoes.  This was my first time and I was a little hesitant with the girls rowing.  We came back drenched because of the other leaders.  The girls couldn't row fast enough.  But it was still a blast.
