Icing on the cake!

I got home from girls camp yesterday. It was the BEST year ever!!! We had the BEST YCL's this year! CUTE, FUN, SWEET girls! Thank you, girls, I love you all!!!

I think I told you before our theme this year was ARK (as in Noah's... It stood for "Acts of Random Kindness"). The icing on the cake ~ one of the girls brought her guitar to camp... with the altitude and heat/coldness... during the day the (not sure what it is called) piece down by the "hole" that holds the strings broke off! It was SO sad. She was so so so bummed out!!! One of the girls in her cabin told her mom that she would like to give her HER guitar. She had one gotten one for her Bday about a year and a half earlier and never learned to played it. So she called her bishop and he brought it up on Thurs. and she gave it to the YW that night. It was soooooooooo tender! Tears were shed... very, very sweet. It truly was exactly what the theme was... an act of random service! The young lady played it during dinner that night... I wish I would have gotten a picture of that but I didn't have my camera with me, darn it!

Here are some fun random pictures from girls camp...














All dressed up and waiting on the buses of girls
In the lodge... waiting to find out which A frame they are in!














Noah! (skit)














Ready for the party! (We were the Flamingo's, hence the hot pink EVERYTHING!)
Skit... Grandma's in the cellar!














The last night of camp all the bishop, the YW presidents and all their spouses come up and we have a special night including dinner, program, and testimony meeting. The YCL2's all sing the 3 white dresses song... they all wear white tops and a skirt... this is a few of the YCL2's just before the program.

Saying good bye... here come the buses!
What a great year it was!!!

That totally makes me miss Girl's Camp. Aww, it looks like you guys all had tons of fun there! I hope I'll get to go again someday as a leader.

Can you look like you are having anymore fun? No. You guys are some leaders. That is some great pictures of you all pinked out.

The smiles of the girls tell it all. Good job.
