My Girls Camp week June 14-19 2010

ok so I know I need to update you on everything that had gone on last week at girls camp so here we go.

Tuesday. I got up and dressed for the day and finished my packing then headed out to Wal-Mart to pick up a couple of last minute things I needed for camp then headed over to the church to finish helping the girls load the trailer and head out to camp. We got to camp on time and got all the tents set up including the kitchen tent in no time at all. Of course just like mother nature to have fun with us it stormed right after we got everything done. It didn't really rain until late that night but either way we ended up in the barn on our first night at camp yet again. At least this time I had a cot to sleep on instead of the hard barn floor. It was kinda nice in a way because Ryan, Michelle and Myself all set up our cot together and chatted with Beth until late into the night. It was a great bonding experience. Nothing like last year.

Wednesday. I woke up early this morning and went to check on the camp site to see if we had any damage from the storm. Guess what nothing happened to any of the tents or anything. Everything was great. Michelle and I looked over everything and opened up all the tents to keep then cool. We went and woke all the girls up and loaded up all their sleeping gear into her truck to keep in all in one place just in case yet again we ended up back in the barn. After our opening flag ceremony and our daily chores were done I got the girls together to practice their skit. We ran through it twice and the girls did great. Later all the parents showed up and we did our skit for the whole camp. It went great and I think we got our message across. We were not the best show of the night though. There was a ward right next to ours that waited until dark and then came out in these costumes that made them look like stick people and danced. It was by far the most creative thing I have ever seen at camp. After everyone left Michelle we talking and I kept getting buzzed but I just ignored it cause what Michelle and I were talking about was important. When we finished talking I checked my phone and it was Dale so I called him back to find out what was going on. He proceeded to tell me about his uncle and that he needed me to come home. So I went to find Michelle and Ryan and let them know what was going on. They both agreed that I needed to be with my family so I called Dale back to let him know that I would come home. Or should I say that he could come and pick me up since I didn't have a car. He said fine and that he would be by tomorrow afternoon to get me. I said fine and let Ryan and Michelle know what was going to happen and then went to take a shower and go to bed. We got to sleep in our own camp because there was no storm tonight. It was nice. I think I much rather sleep on the cot than the air mattress any day. I got such a great nights sleep.

Thursday. We got up and were in the middle of making breakfast when all the sudden it was announced that we had yet another storm coming our way. At this point I have given up hope that we were going to make it through the week nice and smooth. We all headed into the barn and listened to a couple of speakers. There were really starting to get into their talks when it started raining really hard. When they stopped talking the rain stopped. That's what I like to call the Devil not wanting to girls to hear what they had to say. Their talks were about Dating. Important information about it. So we all moved down to the bottom of the barn so that if it started raining again we could hear the talks. We made it though without any more raining. After we were done with that we headed back to our campsite to get ready for girls to split up into their certification groups. That left me with nothing to do so I went to the Directors meeting and then talked to Eva for a bit then went to talk to Ryan and say goodbye. Dale showed up at about noon and we loaded up my stuff and headed off.

So that is all that happened while I was at camp. Blog at you later.
