Ok so our journey started out like any other, unpacked, did a swim test, then relaxed. Of course it didn't stay like any other.
Our first day and already we have an problem in the first 3 hours of being there! There are....RACCOONS in our ceiling. No it couldn't be sweet little chipmunks, but vicious raccoons. Once they told us this I was paranoid. Oh my gosh...they're right above....they could be listening to us (a few hours later I remembered that they're nocturnal.....:P)!
What really didn't help was I was on the top bunk. So we get the joy of moving cabins. All of our stuff PLUS our mattresses. It took some time but the cabin was FANTASTIC for camping. We have 2 people who are diabetic so they needed to store stuff in a cool place so we had to get a cabin and not a Adirondack. Thank goodness.
Our cabin was very cute and it even had a little porch in the front. You can see it below. Actually me and my friend made this thing like friends do and every time we'd go swimming, we would go to the "snack shack," get three snacks, and just sit on the porch steps and talk about what had happened during the day so far. She's in a different year then me so we don't know what's going on over there. It's definitely a memory to be cherished.
Ok, so this is our cute little cabin I was talking about. I love this cabin. Except for the fact that it let a squirrel come straight into our cabin, right near me as I was falling asleep, and scare the living heck out of me. We also named the squirrel. Alejandro Fernando Roberto Fluffy. Yes we also came up with a song.
Ahhh camp experiences. Not all of them are necessarily good, especially this one. A few days after I came home, still I expected to wake up and find a squirrel either on the ceiling or on my face. Thank goodness for concrete walls, and not just wood.
My dear friend for many years now. P.S. Congrats on getting your braces off! (she got them off after camp.)
One of my YCLs who was in our ward. She's super nice and I loved having her as my YCL.
This is our cabins little name plate. Everybody says its supposed to have a La in front of it.
This was our snack shack line on the busiest day. Otherwise it was never like this. I just thought it was hilarious.
It was my friends birthday over camp. I lured her out so my friends could decorate her bunk. I hope she had a really great birthday. Even though it was different.
I made these at the craft barn. I thought they look pretty, so a took a pic. Only it was hard because the camera kept on focusing on my knee. Not the best picture.
This is one of my many great friends at church. She makes nicknames for everybody. It's quite fun to see what she comes up with next.
He he he.....my friend is kind of freaking me out with the eyes.....moving on......
This hair style was held up by a bottle of all things. Talk about recycling in many ways. When I saw this, I knew I had to take a picture.
For skit night my friend was " Super Girl" encouraging everyone to pray when they had a problem.
Hahahahaha another skit night costume. She was a Indian ninja or something. Yes she is wearing a garbage bag drawn on by sharpie. Hey, in camp, you use whatever you have.
My friend. I have a nickname for her now. Mellow yellow. She is the mellowest person I know. She's proud of it. But she's also really funny and nice at the same time. I'm not sure how that blends, but she can do it.
One of my leaders and also one of dad's good friends had a car problem because certain people were listening to the radio without the car running... so they used up the battery. We had to help jump their car. My dad told me to take a picture.
Girl's Camp was SOOOO fun and I cannot believe I have to wait a whole year to go back. Ugh. Counting down already.
Oh and I know what your thinking... the Best Morey blog post EVER! Jk ......sort of. ;)
