Who's Your Hero?

So I think I have a pretty cool calling.  I am the Girl's Camp Director.  I've found from talking to other women that most either love or loathe this calling.  I definitely fall under the love category.  I get to plan a week of camping in the middle of nowhere with teenage girls who are, quite frankly, hilarious, and do all kinds of fun things like singing silly songs and riding a zipline.  How does that not sound appealing? Well, camp was fantastic and I had a blast with the girls.  I'll admit, it was a little stressful being in charge and my awesome assistant did more than her fair share of the work....a lot more. She rocks!  The theme this year was "Who's Your Hero?" and each ward picked a hero from the scriptures to base their camp around.  Our girls chose Moses and boy did we have fun with snakes, staffs, burning bushes, and parting the Red Sea!

Cute beehives setting up their tent :)

Hooray for certification! Highlight of the week: Older girls gather the younger girls together to help pass off certification....WITHOUT being asked!!   How cute are these little ladies?

Adorable mia maids.  I was put in as the mia maid advisor right before camp.  These funny girls toilet papered my bed to "initiate" me.  They even put pink polka dots on the toilet paper and tied bows.  They crack me up!

Cooking up some lunch with Steph and Alex.  These women are incredible and were so fun to work with at camp.

Roasting fried chicken over the fire=hours of laughter.  I about died when she added a piece of garlic bread and ate it all straight from the skewer.  "I love me some fried chicken!"  This also happens to be the same girl who dropped her flashlight in the porta potty.  Luckily a brave first year fished it out for her.  Talk about a good friend!

These girls really are so much fun.  Hopefully they got a little spiritual boost from girls camp in addition to some good laughter and memories.  I know I did!
