Girls Camp 2010

We just got home yesterday from girls camp. It was a great four days, but, man, was I ready to come home!! We had 22 girls this year, and I'm happy to say that the whining was very minimal. Really, what was there to whine about? We were back up in Idaho at the Sunrise P River Ranch where we slept inside, had a full kitchen, bathrooms with showers and electricity. ALOT different from my girls camp experiences. We also had the log roll, horseback riding, canoeing and a waterslide into the river. Needless to say, we had great fun!
Then, there's the added perk of being there with my daughter. It's fun to watch her with the other girls. She's learned alot working at Camp Kiesel this summer. She and a friend who also works there were our song leaders. She had no problem leading songs at the drop of a hat. They also did a couple of skits. Man! She's growing up so fast.

Reminds me of myself at that age, except that I was never as outgoing or self-assured as Sadie is.

Here she is with her BFF. What a ham!
I'm so tired today, and I have a few bruises courtesy of the water slide, but my tan is better than its been in years and I had a couple girls tell me that I'm 'so cool' and that I'm their favorite. What more could I ask?? (As the photographer, of course, there's no picutures of me. It's better that way. The girls look great without makeup, me, not so much!)

Wow, you guys were really roughing it, huh?! Ya, I probably have the same memories of a much harder camp when we were young. I liked it though.
Glad you had a great time and that the girls love you!

It was a great week with great girls. I didn't even see your whiner-eliminator come out once!
