Great Times at Girls Camp



 Matt took off a week to go to girls camp.  He felt really strongly that he needed to be there.  It was right before the cabin so I didn't know if I could pull everything off.  But we decided that it was important to take our family up to girls camp and let them spend some time with Matt.  We went for a few days.  The leaders and girls couldn't have been nicer about our family being there.  We stayed in our camper and I felt so spoiled because everyone else was staying in tents.  They did have showers but they were ice cold.  We didn't have any hook ups for our camper so I did the ice cold showers.  They were freezing but I was so dirty it was worth it.  The boys had so much fun!!!!  Everyday was filled with activities.  The girls were so sweet to invite the boys to do everything that they did.  One day we had access to the obstacle course.  The boys were so brave and did everything they could.  Bridger got a big blister on him palm from the rope because he was determined to make it all the way across.  Chase loved the rope swing.  After swinging across a couple of times he decided to cook off so he purposely landed in the water.


 Every afternoon the girls would have "lake time."  Sophie practically lived in the lake because she loved fetching her ball in the water.  She would jump off the deck and swim out to her ball and then bring it back.  It was a great way to wear her out.  Sometimes the boys would swim out with her.  They had an awesome zip line that dropped you into the lake.  At first Bridger didn't want to do it but after seeing Matt and Chase do it, he decided to try it.  It looked scary to me but they are daredevils.  They loved it!!!!

 It rained and rained on us but luckily there were moments that it cleared up and we were still able to have lots of fun!  We had such a great time and it was wonderful getting to know the young women better.  I loved visiting with the leaders.  They are amazing women!!!1
