Girls camp is in the books.  There were plenty of frustrations, but also lots of smiles and opportunities to feel the Spirit.  And we brought home every girl we took.  Phew.  Some highlights:

Me being in the quiet cabin.
Natalie having an extra pair of ear plugs.
YCL Day.
Scripture study with the YCLs.
Having awesome leaders to hang out with.
Laughing so hard on Thursday for a good 30 minutes.
Longer hike with Alyssa Huff who was so excited to hike.
Sam coming on the longer hike and leading our discussion.
Getting a text on the longer hike since we actually got service and there being a text with a picture of Mason.
Breakfast hike and scripture study.
Seeing the quakies and remembering Sister Nelson's talk about it being OK to be the different tree that's not perfectly straight.  Then making our own analogy with the quakies of how they are all connected and yet they are each an individual tree and so unique.
The face coasters we brought that were a huge hit.
Lots and lots of rocks colored.
Seeing Emily Heaps and having her share her homemade cookies.
Mario Kart race.
Crab and french bread story from the devotional.
Night sky.
Morning sky.
Not completely losing it by Thursday.
"Sad - mad - glad and meanie - screeny - dreamy" skit.
Tuck in treats by Steph.
Testimony night.
Cyd Rollins' brownies she brought up for testimony night.
Bishop Rollins - "Sometimes you'll find yourself alone but you're never really alone.  Your Heavenly Father is always there.  But it is your responsibility to find Him."
