Girls' Camp

I was lucky enough to get to go to Girls' Camp this year with my Young Women.  I actually skipped the first day, because that was my actual birthday, and I have always been territorial about that.  But, I went up the next day (right after hikes of course... useless there.)  I was blessed enough that my girls saved me a bed, and I even got a second mat on my bed to make it sleep-able for 8 months pregs. My first night there, as we finished up dinner, my ward brought in ice cream with a candle, and had eeeeeeeeeeeveryone sing Happy Birthday to me - how sweet was that?  I was definitely surprised and touched. 
The next few days carried on with crafts, skits, water games, certification, singing with the stars, fireside (with a really, really great object lesson,) devotionals, testimony meeting and on the last morning, a sunrise devotional.  I've always been a very big fan of sunrise/sunset activities, so it was one of my favorites, but there was a lot of grumbling from our girls who were up late the night before, you know, snipe hunting...  Can't forget secret sisters (mine was great,) coming up with roll-call cheers (some of the best were "Feed Me Seymour!" and "Bring out your dead!") the cup game, and generally playing around with everyone - like when the girls decided our single leader was marrying a single YM leader, and that the YW were planning the wedding.  It was a really great time, and I am very glad I sucked up the pregnancy pains to be able to spend it there with them (plus the selfish uplift I get from being there.)

 You can call me Tiger.  ... no really, they call me tiger (we had a Sis Lyon and a Sis Bair, so I got dubbed tiger... and of course, decorated my bandana appropriately.)

After arriving home, in true Girls' Camp Fashion, I am sporting 1000billion things.... The anklet I got from Ward secret sister, my tiger from my secret sister, the lanyard they gave us, a wristband to indicate my year, one to indicate my ward, a macrame belt, a t-shirt bracelet (both made during craft time,) my tiger bandana, a glow bracelet, my carrot pin representing our ward theme and finally the necklace with a lighthouse, where I collected beads for each activity.

And, for my own enjoyment... a little sleepy cam:
