Girls camp was a huge adventure. Just like life it had its high, lows, tears, and laughter. So glad I got to spend the week with these amazing girls.
It rained every day we were at camp. We had flooded tents and mud galore. Everyday Dave and I ended up going on the hike. It was an amazing hike. We were able to teach the girls how to rock climb and repel. Some of the girls got scared and tired while climbing, but they had Dave encouraging them on. They were able to make it to the top with the encouragement.
By the end of the week the girls were tired and muddy. Worn out and exhausted. Just like life, it has highs and lows, but with help from others we make it through and can look back and see all the good that came from it.
Car ride down was so much fun, we jammed out to music, we ate too much candy and had a great time.
We had a beautiful hike we went on. It took us through the jungle, by a temple, and cemetery and lastly to a Buddha.
The hike took us to a beautiful Buddha statue. It was fun to be there with the youth. It was a million stairs to get here, but it was worth it.
One of my favorite parts, of camp, was being able to be with Dave all week. I sure love him and how much he is willing to serve others.
The Japanese people are amazing. You wonder why they live so long? Everywhere you go you find older Japanese people staying active. There was a group, we saw, between their 60-80s rock climbing. They would hike to the top and then rock climb all day. This is why I think they live so long. They don't stop. They enjoy life and get outside and do things. What a great example to me and a culture I hope influences my life for a long time.
The girls were able to rock climb at the top of the hike. They needed a man to go on the hike every day and so Dave hiked everyday. I actually did too, I wasn't needed on the hike, but a few things happened and I ended up hiking all 3 days. First, I had a mom ask me to go the second day and watch out for her daughter and the third day I had a girl from our ward that wanted me to go with her. it was a lot of hiking, but it was fun to be with the girls as they conquered things that were hard and scary.
Most of our leaders! What a great bunch of Ladies. They inspire me to be better. They are so much fun to be around.
The girls were preparing their skit. They were so cute and so funny. Skit night always brings a bunch of laughs.
Rain, rain go away. Come again another day! Which it did. It rained everyday. We sloshed through mud and guck. It was so fun.
sKit night!
