Girls Camp!

This past week, Jenessa, Jaycee and myself spent a week at girls camp. I was called to be a girls camp leader about 3 weeks ago, so missed all the planning and just got to go and have fun! This was Jaycee's first camp, so it was fun to watch her experience it for the first time. Jenessa was a 4th year, so she got to leave a day earlier and do the overnight backpack hike. We went to Camp Zarahemla which is about 2 1/2 hours from us. Clear Lake was beautiful, but absolutely freezing!! The girls were not allowed to be in the water for longer than 8 minutes. There were over 200 girls at this camp and only a handful stayed in that long. Even though Jenessa is a swimmer, she was in for only about 30 seconds. Jaycee actually did the polar bear dip, which is where you jump in then jump right out at 7:00 a.m. She did this two mornings in a row. Got to love the excitement of a Beehive. Ness slept through it all! I actually tried knife and tomahawk throwing and got a bulls eye in both. Who would have thought? Overall, it was a fun week and the girls didn't mind too much that I was there. Or at least, that is what they tell me.
