Girls Camp!! This time as a leader...

I was lucky enough to be able to go with my Young Women up to Girls Camp this past week! It was an amazing experience. We went on a short 3 mile hike, did a ropes course (The bottom right pictures shows me actually swinging across the pond... the first time I went right into the water! GROSS!) we also did archery, and climbed a rock wall!
On of my favorite parts was going on this zip line into the middle of the lake where it launches you off into the freezing cold dirty lake! It was SO FUN! Although there was a lot of fun things we did, we also did a lot of amazing spiritual activities. As you can see on the bottom right picture, they changed the pavilion into the Kirkland temple. It was amazing to watch these young girls feel the spirit of our heavenly father and have their testimonies strengthened, as was mine. It was a beautiful place to take a time out away from the things of the world.
I work with an awesome group of girls and leaders that I love! But I said to myself often throughout camp "Did I really act like this when I was their age." Probably so. I am so grateful my Mom and Jeremy took such good care of Boston while I was gone so I could enjoy girls camp! (although I missed them terribly!) It was an unforgettable experience!
