• After months of preparation this week was finally GIRLS CAMP!! We left early Monday morning and returned Friday afternoon. I had the best time! We had about 60 girls from our ward attend so it was a lot of chaos but lots of fun. We have the most amazing girls in our ward and I am so very impressed at the spiritual maturity of so many of the girls I have gotten to know. They are a great example to me. I feel like Girls Camp was a success for the most part. I had lots of girls come up to me at the end and tell me it was the best year they have ever attended. (I think the late night dance parties helped:) I am so grateful I was given this calling this year. It was definitely worth all the hard work and countless hours of prep work.
• I didn't take a single picture (since my phone didn't really work) except for this rainbow. I need to get some of the pictures the "ward photographer" took!

• While I was away to Girls Camp, Addy and Brynn went with their friend Emma to Girl Scout Camp at Trefoil Ranch from Monday-Wednesday. Addy had a super great time and was pretty comfortable since she attended by herself last year. Brynn turned out to be much more hesitant once she got there and it took Todd a while to leave her. She did fine once Todd left but she says she's not going back again:) I guess she's not quite ready to leave home! 
• Bodee was lucky and got to spend some time with Grandma Bassett while I was gone. Thank goodness for fun Grandma Bassett!
• Friday afternoon Todd's boss Dave invited all the employees and their families over for a swim party with a free shave ice stand! That meant as soon as I got home we headed over to party. The kids loved it and Bodee wouldn't stop jumping on the diving board like a trampoline. It was pretty funny watching him.
