The Leavitts

As some of you know, I am the Beehive adviser at church (the Beehives are the 12 and 13 year old girls), so I was asked to go to Girl's Camp. I was only able to go for Thursday and Friday because of work. It was so fun! The girl's are awesome and they just crack me up. We went to a place in Oregon near the Owyhee Resevoir. It is truly in the middle of the desert with rattlesnakes-yes, frightening- racoons and billions of bugs. I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, ahh the joys of pregnancy, and heard a noise in the tree nearby. I held up my light in front of me and saw four beady eyes staring back. Yikes! To my relief, if you could call it that, it registered that it was only two young racoons. Then, of course, panicked thoughts "racoons are mean, what if they attack me, what if they are rabid". Quite the imagination I have. I made it back to my tent unscathed and quickly crawled into my sleeping bag. Not exactly the best night's sleep ever, but I've said goodbye for several years to a good night's sleep.

The camp did have bathrooms with flushing toilet's and a kitchen with a fridge and stove. The campground was totally landscaped with beautiful green grass. Don't be deceived it was brown all around it. Some might say that is not really camping because in Montana, we really did rough it. You are right, but it was so nice to not have to cook over a campfire or use latrines. The coolest thing it had was this HUGE slip 'n' slide. It wasn't too steep, but was super fun!

Me going down the slide! What a blast!

So it's been forever since I've blogged, a very busy month. The middle of July we went to Twin Falls to go to the Twin Falls Temple open house. It was absolutely amazing! We didn't take any pictures because we left our camera in the car. Here is a link if you want to look at a picture.

The next weekend, we drove to Montana to see my family and go to my brother, Gabe's wedding. He got married July 26th. It was a very fun trip and it was so great to spend time with all of my siblings! Marie was wonderful, and let us stay with her again. We had a lot of fun playing with her kids and eating her delicious food! Jack, her 2 and 1/2 year old, affectionately started calling Rob "Jolly Roger". We don't know where he got it or if he just made it up, but it's hilarious. Here are some pictures from our trip.


First, Loni, the beautiful bride!

Rob and I at the bowling alley. I don't think that either of us played really well, but had lots of fun. Wii bowling is not the same as real bowling after all.

My brother Derek, looking like a pro!

It was great to spend some quality time with the family.
