Happy Father's Day!!!

On Father's Day, I gave my dad two movie tickets so him and my mom could go see Transformers 2, he liked it. My mom made my dad French Toast for breakfast (his favorite), while me and my brother wrapped his presents (surprisingly my brother did awesome at.) We went to church where he got a King Size Snickers Bar (and so did I, for passing them out) and then came home and had Spinach Dip for lunch, yum. We all took naps (well most of us) and then we had spaghetti for dinner. After that, my mom gave us pieces of her homemade Butterfinger cheesecake while we watched Transformers (best cheesecake I've EVER tasted.) I would just like to let my dad know he's awesome, and is a great example to me. He does a great job taking care of our family and watching over us. I don't know what I would do without him!

Girls Camp

Tuesday June 9th
Today we got to Taylor Ranch. We set up our kitchen area and tents, in windy weather. For dinner we had Hawaiian Haystacks. Challis, Quincie, Sarah, Bailey, and Kassie were in my tent.

Wednesday June 10th
Today we did our craft activity and make necklaces by hammering letters into metal tags. Our service project was picking up dead trees and putting them in piles so, Bro. Taylor could burn them. We cooked dinner, had a ward program, and then had a devotional.

Thursday June 11th
Today we went on our 3 mile hike (about 4.) I didn't bring water so I shared one of my friends. I got big blisters, though. I ended up freezing in my sleeping bag, that night.

Friday June 12th
Today we had many certification things to do: learn to tie knots, do the Heimlich maneuver, etc. Then we had Bishops night and had a testimony meeting. every single young women (about 25) bore their testimony, even the 1st years. Tonight I was a lot warmer.

Saturday June 13th
Packed up our things and had a 3 and a half hour drive home. I got home really sick with a cold I got Thursday, though.

It was a great experience and it strengthened my testimony in many ways. I hope you all get to go and have as much fun as I did.
