Girl's Camp kicked off as soon as we hiked all our junk to our camping spot and set up our tents right on top of a wasp nest that was hidden under some logs. Mix that with some smelly latrines and you have a nice peek of how we do camp...
After warning us about fire safety, skunks and bears, we found ourselves doing this crazy song and dance. I think it was to help keep the bears away.
One of my favorite parts of camp was me being mistaken as a youth (on several occasions). I guess dressing like a 13 yr old and dancing like a crazy horse didn't help any.
I did get rewarded, however, for all my efforts for the week by this ceremony wherein I was given many gifts and tokens of appreciation in the form of "Ooga-Booga" wear.
Two Kleenex boxes, one sick girl and six wasp stings later I looked back at our car full of tired girls and realized why we have camp each year; camp helps you be humble, grateful and aware of where you stand in life. And even though I had to clean smelly outhouses and was asked if I was 13, I still had a great time.
Here's to my brother and his wife and their happiness. We had a great time visiting them and busting moves at their reception. Carrie's bare feet must've been hot on the concrete at the church because her legs didn't stop-a-movin'.
We didn't have to feed Liam the whole week on account of the amount of sand he ingested.

Liam decided he'd start pulling his weight around our house and thank goodness! He's already started by getting into the toilet and hiding in the closet with the vacuume cleaner... I think he's a natural with this cleaning thing.
