Summer 2K16 - Part 1

I'm going to have to document our Summer fun in a few posts.  I've been so busy enjoying Summer, that I really didn't blog!  So we'll catch up now that school has started!  :)
There was a fire just on the other side of the river by our house.  Josh and the kids were over in the field and saw it.  They jumped in the river and helped dumping water on it before the firefighters got there.  









 We had friends over one day to play in the sprinklers.  


 I love this!  We saw a video online about people that did wall sits and then their coach walked on their knees.  The kids got a little bored at baseball and gave it a try!  
 We went to visit a new park - Bicentennial Park in Provo - one day.  It had the perfect climbing trees!  We played for a couple hours there!







 We walked on the boardwalk there.

 Found a frog!




 Then we went to the BYU Creamery and had some ice cream!




 There were some football boys there so we took a picture with their sweet golf cart.
 Just a quick walmart trip - and some "smiling pile of poo" pillows.  


 On a walk a few days later, we surveyed the damage done to our trail trees by that fire.





Girls Camp - June 1-4, 2016

I've been in Young Women's as the Secretary for almost 3 years.  Right before we went to Girls Camp, I was called to be the Young Women's President.  So I went to Camp knowing that a BIG change was coming, and I had already sent in names for my counselors and secretary too.  I already LOVE these yw so much, and I was SO grateful that I could still serve in the YW organization!  
We planned our Girls Camp for the beginning of June and we took the girl to Bennion Creek up Spanish Fork Canyon.  It was a beautiful place!  There was a little lake and a lovely campsite.  It was perfect!  We had Sister Holmes to the food - and it was perfection!  Sis Stewart and Sis Tanner were our Camp Directors.  Our theme was Follow Your Heart.  
 Our hike day - Bro Welling took us up a super steep mountain.  It was a serious hike!










 Every spare moment was spent in the lake!  We played on the floating dock, and swinging from the rope swing.  So many perfect memories were made!






The best part about Girls Camp this year was that Josh came!  We went up Thursday together and he was one of the Priesthood leaders there.  He was able to be there to give a few blessings to girls that got super sick.  He learned so much about girls and was such a great support to me there!
