GIRLS CAMP!!!

well on Tuesday i went to Girls Camp! My first year! Our ward decided that we were going to go back packing. My pack weighed 30 pounds, so i knew that it wasn't going to be the easiest thing that i had ever done but i also knew that i was capable of doing it. At 6am on Tuesday we were scheduled to leave. We didn't leave until around 7 because people were late. i rode with my friend Sam and Rachelle. Rachelle threw up on the way so i decided that next time it was probably best not to ride with her. It was fun though. The hike wasn't as horrible as i thought. It definitely was hard though. Once we got to the top of the mountain where the lake was we ate lunch. After that it was just really easy. When we got there we all set up our tents. My friend Jenessa was in my family and was supposed to tent with me, however she got sick the night before camp so i ended up tenting with a fourth year named Elise. I didn't know her at all but i decided that i was only tenting with her so it wasn't that important to be her best friend. The rangers came because we had a little over 14 people at one camp site(30). They said that they might split us up but we could stay the night. The next day the rangers came in the morning again and said that they expected us to be split by that morning. our ward got fined 100 dollars for 4 different things and are now going to court. Of course after that we split. Only my family stayed at the regular camp, Cicely's family along with another went to the middle camp sit, and then KJ went to the last. I really didn't know my family which were Stacia, Janae, and Elise. I was really disappointed because my friend Sam went with KJ. We did everything as just a family except for the assembly's, devotionals, and free time. For our free time that day we went and caught some fish with our hands. Although we had to put them back it was all fun because most of them were all fat. I caught one fish with a fishing pole that day but i didn't have want to gut it. That was fun. By that night i was pretty much best friends with my family. We all really loved being with each other 24/7. The next day was the same as every other day. We would wake up early and eat breakfast as a family,wash dishes,assembly,free time,lunch,class thingies,dinner,devotional,bed. During free time we caught fish again. The bishop caught a fish that i named Chelsea. I let it die,squeezed the eggs out of her, and the gutted her. Most girls had to have help gutting them but i didn't have help at all. That night it rained SO hard! It was miserable. We had put down stacia's tent so her and Janae slept with us. I was freezing. Then we had to leave after breakfast and half of the assemble. We packed up and left. It took around 2 hours but it was really easy because it was down hill. Cicely stayed back with her friend shyanne because Shyanne was slow. I think she just didn't feel like going faster. I rode with the Pratt's on the way home. That was fun because i was right next to Sam in the back. We stopped on the way home for lunch. All in all it was fun and i made a lot more friends. I love my ward and my first year of girls camp was great!

MOVED!

Sorry it took me a while to write on here again but we have been busy. couple of friends and one really good friend. I have gone to church twice already and luckily my class isn't too weird but they are definitely weird. Anyways we already met a family named the Bennett's if that is how you spell it and they live down the road from us. They are really nice. We have been unpacking and most of it is done but we still have a couple of things to do. My dad is in Arizona right now till Thursday i believe. The people are coming sometime this week to bring our couch and some more furniture that we bought. It has been great in Utah and i sort of miss Arizona but i am sure that in a week i won't even care anymore.
