This was Alexa's first time at Girls Camp. It was Stake Camp and they were up at Camp Koholowo. Since I am the new Beehive Advisor I drove up on Tuesday to hang out for the day. Our Stake's week fell on a Holiday week so camp was only Monday, Tuesday and they came home Wednesday afternoon. Most of the girls at camp were Beehives.
The theme was the Olympics so they earned pins by memorizing scriptures and songs and then they could trade their pins.
They had fun playing in the rafters of the cabin.
They were playing Big Buddah (or Big Bootie is actually how they were playing). I haven't played that one so I just watched.
The tradition is to make the "first years" clean the bathroom. Luckily our ward was assigned the "wilderness bathroom" that hardly even got used so it was pretty easy. Maddy was not very happy about having to clean the toilet!!
They all pitched in and got done really fast. I think they got off too easy!
We had "Cafe Rio" salads for dinner and the Bishopric came up to eat and have Testimony meeting. The food was yummy. Here is Briana grilling up the tortillas.
Just waiting for dinner...
Just "sitting" around
We made ice cream to go with our peach cobbler. You just put half and half, sugar and vanilla into a zip lock bag and then in a bigger zip lock bag you put ice and some salt and you shake it around for about 10 minutes and it turns into ice cream. I was skeptical about the whole thing but it worked and was really yummy. Alexa was having too much fun shaking hers around!!
After dinner we had a testimony meeting and I am so glad that I was able to be there, it was a wonderful meeting. I wish all the parents could have come up. I am glad to be in the Young Women's program and be able to have these great experiences with Alexa!

What the heck, I thought you were the secretary in Primary, where the heck have I been, when did you get put into Young Womens?
The Young Women are lucky to have you! I am sure you will be the favorite leader in no time!
Thanks for posting these pictures! Maddy had a great experience but we had no pictures to share. If you don't mind, I'm going to put a few these on our blog.
I forgot that Alexa got to go to camp this year, she looks like she had a good time. That is awesome that you got to go up too.
I loved Young Womens and know that your girls will love you. Looks like Alexa had a good time at camp. Man, she's growing up fast!
