Girls Camp 2010






Girls Camp is always the highlight of being able to serve in Young Women's. It is alot of work to put together, but always so fun!! This year we went to Camp Delany. It is near the Grand Coulee Dam so our scenery was a little different from the pine trees and forest we are used to when we camp. This year was rocks and rattlesnakes! But also air-conditioned cabins and a full kitchen! I know...roughing it! We had skits and hiked and lake day(no pics for some reason) and as always testimony meeting. It was a great time and I just think the girls in our ward are the best!!!

The Oregon Coast






I have so many great pictures of our time spent on the coast but here are just a few. We had such a great time!! It was great weather for the first part of the trip and ended with the rain you expect to have in Oregon. We met up with Valerie and Justin and mom in Hood River. It was so great to have them there! This was Kelsie and Jacob's first experience seeing the ocean. We started at Seaside and Cannon Beach. Here is where we had great weather!! We just spent all day playing in the water, flying kites and building sand castles and even burying Dave in the sand!! We saw a great tidepool at Cannon Beach and roasted marshmallows at sunset. We drove down to Newport and spent a few days there. Here is where the rain cmae. but We still had fun! The house was great and there were some good pool wars had. The aquarium was great and Dave even got the kids to try some oyster shots!! I love the ocean!
