Girls Camp Day 4

I woke up, and started gathering up my stuff. After a little bit we went down for flag ceremony. Then went to the pavilion for a breakfast of  cinnamon-rolls, orange slices, and hot chocolate. After that we gathered up our trash and headed back to camp. At camp we got our stuff from the clotheslines and packed it up. After we got all our stuff out of the tents and packed. We took down the tents folded them, and packed them away. On the way home we found out why there was screaming in the leaders tent. So this is what happened.
     Jamie (one of our leaders) all of a sudden felt something cold on her neck. Hoping it was her i pod she reached up and  felt the slimy, cold thing move. So she grabbed it and flung it across the tent. Then she said," There was something on my neck." Jill (another leader) thought it was just her hallucinating because of Jamie's medicine for her kidney stone said," You were just hallucinating."
" No I wasn't." Jamie said.
Then Shellie (another leader) said," No she wasn't something just hit me. I think it's a gummy worm"
 Then Shellie reached up, and the thing moved. They turned on a flashlight.  Jill and Shellie jumped and landed on Shawnee's (yet another leader) bed waking her up. Jamie joined them.It was a either a lizard or a salamander I don't remember. They talked for a bit about what to do. Then Jamie grabbed a bag and got it in there. Jamie didn't want to take a long time getting her shoes on. So Jill slipped on some shoes went out and down the road a bit then tossed it.
   We laughed a lot. When i got home I got my stuff from the cars, said goodbye, went in put my stuff in my room, took a shower, and then enjoyed the rest of my day.

Girls Camp Day 3

                                                                  Thursday

We woke up, got ready, dressed in pants, and in the T-shirts we decorated the day before. After that we went to flag ceremony. Came back and home made egg-Mcmuffins. After cleanup and everything we took our showers. It felt so good to feel clean. Oh I forgot to mention we had working sinks, toilets, and showers. They weren't that disgusting at all because, each ward had a day they had to clean the bathrooms.When we got our hair brushed, and we were out of the showers. The stake leaders did our hair in some of the cutest braided ways. I had two french twists that combined together and turned into a bun. After thanking the stake leaders we had an awesome lunch. Then we learned about each other, and started a lesson on the Young Women Values. While we were learning the values it started raining harder and harder. So we went in the leaders tent. While there lightning started almost striking the ground. We split into groups and went into two cars. Me and Bonnie really needed to go the bathroom. Luckily the cars windows defrosted just in time and we were able to go before we peed our pants. When the rain started to stop we went back in the tent and continued our lesson. When we finished we got out of the tent check to see if our stuff got wet. Luckily only the tent with our clothes and stuff got wet. Then the stake called all the wards for a picture. When we got back we made a clothes line hung our stuff up, and then went to help others who's stuff got drenched. After that it was our turn to do the bathrooms. Again luckily we got to the plastic see-through gloves. I had to take out the trash. After that we went back to camp and played games, made and ate dinner,roasted s'mores and starbursts, told stories around the fire, and ate peach cobbler. That night Bailey and Harley came inside our tent for about twenty minutes. Then they went in their tent and we all went to sleep or at least tried to. We heard laughing for  the leader tent. Then a little while later woke up by screaming in the leaders tent, but soon forgot about it and went to sleep. I'll tell the story in my next blog about girls camp day 4.

Girls Camp Day 2

                                                           Wednesday

beginning of hike

  When I woke up I got dressed, brushed my hair, brushed my teeth ect. After everyone was done we went to flag ceremony and then went to the bathroom. We had breakfast at camp this time. So breakfast was French Toast. I choked on some bacon though. How it happened was that some of the bacon got caught in my airway so I couldn't breathe. So I spat all the bacon, but the piece in my airway. Then I stuck my hand in my throat grabbed the piece of bacon and flung it out. It was scary. After lunch Jamie braided our hair and we prepared for the hike. We split into groups again. Each of our ward groups had one of their leaders, ours was Jill. 1.3 miles into the hike mucus and stuff from my nose started running down the back of my stomach making not feel good at all. The camp nurse said it was called a congestion and the hike should help stop that, but other than that there's like nothing else that she knows of. So after a while of having to rest a lot I said a prayer. After that I felt way better. The as we later found out was the longest hike they had. We were all exhausted after that hike. Guess what, after the hike I have not had a congestion happen so the nurse was right and I'm glad. Then we had lunch which was so good and consisted of the same potato salad and also really good eclairs. After lunch we went back to camp rested, learned to baton wood, and played games. Sometime later we went back to the pavilion and made blankets for a hospital. When that was finished we got T-shirts to decorate. After the T shirts we did games like capture the flag and water balloon volleyball. At one point it was this iron rod thing where we had to hold to this string, we had to walk through it, and at some points we had to have help from the leaders like walk over a log. When we finished it we had to watch others do it. I felt the spirit doing it and watching others do it. Sorry it's to hard to describe it exactly, we were blindfold you see.  It was fun. Then we went back to camp for a bit then went to the amphitheater for flag ceremony, and destiny. When we got back to camp we roasted starbursts and made doughnuts. Then we got ready for bed, when we got in our tents. From the other tent we heard screaming. Turns out the tent had adopted a colony of ants while we were out. So they had to get all of the ants out before bed. In bed we told stories, jokes, had fun, and after a long time went to bed.

                                                                                                                           

Girls Camp Day 1

                                                                     Tuesday

    We got at the campsite and unpacked some then we had to go to the amphitheater where there was flag ceremony, and then they talked about the rules. After that we had lunch at camp.  My lunch was peanut butter bar, peanut butter and honey sandwich, apple and water bottle. Then we learned to split wood and we played apples to apples. When it was time we went back to the pavilion and made our theme flags. Our theme was GAG. Get A Grip.  As in get a grip on the iron rod.  We stayed at the pavilion  for journal making. When we finished making our journals. We split into groups and learned different things depending on how many years you've gone to girls camp. The group I was in (the first years) learned some first aid things, like the Heimlich maneuver. After that we found our wards and went back to camp. When we got back to camp we took pictures of our flag and finished unpacking. When we finished we went to the amphitheater for flag ceremony, and then we had to go back to the pavilion and get dinner. My favorite part about the dinner was the potato salad. It was the best I've ever had. Then after dinner we had a scripture spiritual time called destiny. Back at camp we made a fire told stories and sang songs. We roasted s'mores and starburts over the fire. It was fun. All the girls had to share a tent. So that night we talked laughed and joked till about 11:00. Then the storm came it scared all the girls except me and Bonnie. It was raining really hard, are tent was leaking, everybody besides me and Harley needed to go to the bathroom. The people who went told the leaders that are tent was leaking and then went to the bathroom. So the leaders came asked where it was leaking we showed them where the leaks were. They had set up a tent for us and we had to gather our sleeping stuff and run into those two tents. Bonnie, Alex, Tanaya, and me were in one tent, and Bailey and Harley were in the other. We probably got to sleep about 12:00. The next morning we found out that the leaders put most of our stuff in their trucks.
