I forgot to post about one of the most popular activities at Girl’s Camp. The girls would use this all day long. I like to lovingly call it “The Slide Of Death”.
That building would be the lodge….and yup that’s a slide. And yup….those are four flights of stairs that you have to hike up to get to the top of the slide.
And if you ask me, that would be a crazy person going down the slide.
I choose life.
My favorite people in all of Philly came to Idaho for a visit! They are so much fun and we just don’t get to see them often enough. So, while they were here, we packed in as much family togetherness as we could. We went for several rides on the four wheeler…
Even Grandpa took it our for a spin.
We played and colored on cardboard boxes outside. I don’t know why we’ve never thought of this before…the kids absolutely loved it!
We celebrated the fourth of July together….which involved lots of otter pops and of course, fireworks.
We visited a dairy and got to feed the calves. They were adorable! I would totally get one….if only they stayed so small and cute.
We were able to celebrate Emily’s Birthday! She is the coolest youngest sister a girl could ask for!
And we spent many nights playing Monopoly Deal. It’s addicting. And it only takes about 20 minutes to play. Total Win.
It just plain stinks only being able to hang out with them once a year, but I am so glad they make the effort to come out and see us. They haven’t been gone for very long, but I miss them already.
Maybe next time they should stay longer.
I would be cool with that.
I am so behind in blogging that it is hard to know where to start. So, we’ll just start at the beginning. Last month we drove to California for my Uncle’s wedding. I love weddings and this one was so much fun. The weather was amazing. The venue was beautiful. And hanging out with tons of family members was the best.
One of my favorite moments of the day was the Lion Dance. It was amazing. I have never seen anything like it in person before.
We packed a ton into the day and a half we were there, but boy did we have a great time. Now we just need Brent and Melinda to come out and visit us so we can hang out some more!
Last week I went to Girl’s Camp as one of the leaders for 35 twelve year olds. I think it probably goes without saying that I was excited and yet a bit nervous about what I might encounter. As soon as we pulled up to our campsite, I knew I would love it. Talk about beautiful!
We had fun hiking, crafting, going on snipe hunts, playing games, performing skits , and just getting to goof off with 35 of my favorite people.
They were a rad group of girls, and I would jump at the chance to go again with them.
