Girls Camp 2010

Camp Directors : Sis Braun and Sis Saunders

Sister Wise and her baby bump!

I was so happy to see her.

The Y C L 's were the ones that ran camp this year.
I think it made it so much better.

The Eustis girls did all they could to fulfill
their responsibilities.

Good Job !

Girls Camp 2010

What is Girls Camp???

Camp is an outdoor experience for

young women ages 12 to 18.

It gives young women opportunities to:
Draw closer to Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ
Feel the influence of the Spirit.
Serve others.
Build friendships and unity
Learn skills.
Appreciate God's creations.

Eustis Young Women ready to go to Camp!

(well most of them)

This year the Young Women President of the Eustis Ward was out of town.

President Carter allowed me this extra blessing.
I had the privilege of being their leader for the week.

These girls are great! I'm very lucky to have gotten to know them better!

All 18 of them. They sure don't need much sleep.... so fun!

This is a picture of the Stake Young Women leaders, These are the sweet women I serve with. Sis Hawkins did a great job of creating a environment for the girls to accomplish all the things camp is meant to do.

I was having some allergy issues on Tues a.m. Megan gave me some non-drowsy medicine. Only... I was very very drowsy... I felt like a Young women hiding from her leader. I was looking for a place to rest my head, or really just lean my head..but.... I'd see Sis Hunter coming my way and think "Oh no she saw me". She always saw me and with her arm around me we went off to serve. I love this lady who never ever gets tired . Anyway , as always the spirit teaches and we end up having a wonderful camp experience. This is so out of my comfort zone. I was in a skit, sang, danced, shot a gun, dried tears, walked to the bathroom at 3:oo a.m. (right before the bears ) I slept on a air mattress that

deflated each night at 4:00

but i did not and will not ever eat a minnow!

If an award was given for the 3 most excited Beehives , these 3 would win.

always front and center of the activities. I love Beehives!! Beehives love Girls Camp

Another name for these 3 ... 1st years

Natalie can't wait until next year!

A New Horse

Natalie went to Horse Camp and while she was there she tried out a new horse.

This is Joey and the best thing about him is he is a free lease!

Natalie had a great week. Karen is the trainer and was really happy with the progress she made . She told me that Natalie was a much better rider than she thought she was.

This horse works well with her.

They make a good fit. She is going to work with him all summer and show in the fall.

This horse isn't a play horse. Joey is not like spot-me who she would jump on bare back.

She will have to work hard . Be very respectful to him. Joey is 16 1/2 hands.
The funny thing is, that we knew the owner. It is Aimee's brother in law Robert!!!

Small world!

I still love spot-me. I know she is a hard head and has a grass belly but she has been a good horse. We'll find her a good home. For now she is at Kelly's barn just hanging out eating grass. Her favorite thing to do! I'd ride her myself but...... I'd rather play tennis!

The Ginn Resort

We love going to this Resort. It is so perfect for our family. Each year they always have a summer special . This year it was buy one night get one free. Its hard to find a place where everyone is together ...but... has there own space. At the Ginn we each have our own bedroom when someone needs a nap..
One pool has a big slide, the other a sandy bottom and a lazy river.
The beach is beautiful and there is so much grass and open space to play and run.
If you haven't been here I would strongly recommend it. This year just the girls went.
I sure felt loved. When I got into the pool ALL the kids wanted Grandma! Its great unless they all jump at the same time. What a joy to be a mother/ grandmother.. I did feel the love, bruises will fade memories won't.

Rhea and her big fish!

See that big smile on Macie's face ?
Before she jumps she says"NO UNDER" about 3 times before getting the nerve to jump.

I have the best camera. It is so durable and takes very cool underwater pictures.

I have never ever seen a child just jump in the water and go straight down,come up a few times for breathes and not be even a little afraid. Just hangs out until after about 5 bobs Missy grabs him. So funny!
