June Time Fun

My twins graduated from 8th grade.  That means that I will be the mom of two high school students in the fall...I'm not that old yet, am I?  Townsend graduated with a 4.0!  Emerson did really well but slacked off on a class that he hated so didn't get the 4.0

Picking blackberries with Julian and Aunt Katrina

Bowling with a friend, Jacob Greathouse

Mini golf with the Holwege kiddos.  I had a lot of one on one time with Julian in June while his brothers were off on scout high adventure.

My little sister Paige had her twins!!!  I get to go visit them in September and I honestly can't wait!!!!

I have been obsessed with the music from "Hamilton" and so I got tickets to a tribute band called Rise Up.  They sang a bunch of the songs from Hamilton and it was so much fun.  The whole crowd was singing along and dancing!  It was awesome!

Twins on High Adventure

The photos are all courteous of the leaders that went with the twins on their high adventure.  They spent a week kayaking in Puget Sound up in Washington State.  When they came home they said, "it wasn't as bad as Trek."  Which I guess means they sort of kind of maybe had fun??  Talking with the leaders they reported that the twins had fun with their friends and were always at the front of the pack of kayaks.  I hope they have good memories of the time they spent out in nature.

Photo of the entire group of scouts they went with.

Looking very tired at the first camp site.  I guess their guide messed up and they paddled an extra few miles to back track to where they were supposed to be

Pretty good shot of Townsend in the kayak.

Girls Camp 2018

I had such a fun time at camp this year.  I love my calling as our Ward Girls Camp Director.  I love the girls that I get to know but mostly I love the other ladies I get to hang out with.  We have so much fun! I can't wait for next year:)

Hiking around with my buddies Audrey Burdick and Jacki Fisher

I led the 4th year girls on a hike up to this little shrine.  It was pretty much up hill the whole way and some girls didn't make it...but I had fun:)

Our ward "color" this year was orange.  I had to make 50 of these little skirts for all the girls!

4th year cabin moms are the best!

My home away from home.  I was on the top bunk at the far end of the room.  Not the most comfortable sleeping situation but it was fine...better than a tent:)

Jacki Fisher always brings cards and we stay up way too late playing.  In fact, one night a girl came into the kitchen and asked if the leaders could be quiet because they were trying to sleep...ha ha ha...we were such goofs

"The Circle of Light" on the last night of camp.  We all stand in a circle with candles and sing songs.  You could feel the spirit testify of the beauty of the world around us and the beauty of the friendships we had made.  Such a wonderful experience.
