Girl's Camp

One of the reasons we brought Kyleigh back with us was so she could go to girls' camp with Katie. It was so fun having her there with us.



Camp was at Toledo Bend State Park in North Louisiana. We arrived Tuesday afternoon and got unpacked and settled into our cabin. Our stake separates the girls by year, and I just happened to be assigned to be a over the first years, which meant I got to stay with these cuties all week.



Here are the Lake Charles and Jennings girls practicing for their skit.



The theme for our camp was Johnny Lingo.



The girls got all dressed up in their island attire for dinner that night. And after dinner, each ward did their skit.



Wednesday the girls did "The Amazing Race". It was a really cool way of getting them to do their certification and other fun things and having fun at the same time. Here at the first years shooting.



Canoeing.



A giant sling shot.



Lunch.



Swimming.



Craft time.



Archery. They also did a hike and a few other fun activities. It was really hot that day though, and most of it was spent outside.



Thursday was another awesome day. The girls rotated through several classes taught by different leaders based around a BYU 10 day challenge called "Recapturing Beauty". It was a really great message for all women to hear about how beautiful we really are because we are all unique and amazing daughters of God. After the classes, the girls had free time, and decided to go swimming again. After swimming, everyone got all prettied up and ready for an amazing and delicious dinner made by our great kitchen staff.



My beautiful first year. The YCLs helped the first years do their hair and make-up.



Love these two beauties!



Here are most of our Lake Charles beauties.



Silly faces.



First years. They were such a sweet group of girls.



And pretty silly too!

And here's the whole group of girls that went to camp after the testimony meeting that night.



After the testimony meeting, the awesome YCLs for the first years came to get them for devotional.



The girls just loved their YCLs. And they were pretty great.



These are the pillowcases I made for Katie and Kyleigh.



It was a wonderful first year of girls camp for them both, and it was so fun to be there with them.
