Girls Camp 2k16

Camping is s'more fun with friends

One week of sweat, laughter, friends, and candy can take a lot out of you. Late nights by the camp fire with ones you love are the best. But, these loved ones are your friends that you haven't seen in months and it feels like nothing has changed.

I spent 5 days at a church camp just for girls. Our testimonies grew and our love for nature dimmed slightly. The heat was scorching and the bugs were nasty, but we had fun so that's all that counts.

 We were all thankful to sleep in cabins. They didn't have air conditioning, but we made up for that by blasting fans 24/7. After beds were made and lights were hung, the fun began.

Everyday, you had to go to 3 classes. Whether that was woodworking or paintball you mastered a skill in something. One of my favorite classes was cookie decorating, It was fun to know frosting techniques then eat your masterpiece. Playing with fondant was great, too.

July Spirit

Fort Macon Beach

What's better than spending a Saturday on the beach, and on fourth of July weekend no less. The sand was hot and the salt water burned our eyes, but it was worth it. We looked out for each other in the harsh waves.
All together, we went home sunburned, tired, and sand in every nook and cranny. I even became a mermaid. Truly a day to remember.
