Girls Camp 2008

This year at young womens camp I was a 5th year meaning a ward YCL. Yippie I got to help with the younger girls whoopie haha well it wasn't really that fun, theres always that one person that annoys you. I also didn't have my sister Meredeth with me this year so I was a little scared that I would have no one to talk to when I am really annoyed or something.
(Easter) On monday the 5th years all left early; unpacked the trailer, cleaned the site, BIFFY duty, painted rocks/ set them on the path, had dinner down in Fairview at a place called T Cees, Sang Camp song, wrote poems, went to bed ect you knwo the sha bang. In the morning we set up Easter baskets in the trees, Tuesday was our easter holiday. We had breakfast grabbed the leis and headed down to where the busses would unload, as the girls unloaded we gave every single one a lei... I kept saying " yes I get to lei ppl hahah" I heard it from my brother in law. we showed the girls the camp site but went straight to flag ceremony, when we came back we let them set up ect. Jessica started to feel sick too. (she gets sick every year up there but she just had surgery so it was differnt) I helped the first years on there certification after we came back from golden hour. and then after that, I noticed that Jess had a weird blank stare and left with sis V to the cabin to give her some meds and apperently she accidently overdosed her. later on the nurse came and Kaylee(her sister) was asked to stay with her (along with best friend Taci) the preisthood gave Jess a blessing. okay i'm righting everything in short cause so much happend so please forgive me and try to follow along. After the last flag ceremony we were coming back and kaylee was running toward us, I asked how jess was doin and she jsut said I need the nurse. she told the nurse that jess couldnt breathe she was hyperventalating. They ended up calling an ambulance to come up, and alot of the stake leaders kept coming an going from the cabin, Kaylee lost it for a min and cried hard. after awhile we said a prayer and kaylee ran to a van and then they carried Jess to the car while she was still in her blanket. that night kaylee came back and said that jess was doing better and would come back the next day. we read a book that night before bed like always and since Marilyn our main camp leader was at home w/ her hubby that just had heart surgery I drew a picture of her each day so it would be like she was there, it was funny. we got really cute pjs that night.
(Wednesday) The next day was the Forth of July and we each got neckalces went to flag came back, had breakfast got ready went to do our skit. came back for lunch and a whole long time of ward together stuff. Jessica came back around Lunch and was sleeping in the car, Stevoni woke up puking and was told to stay in bed, she had the day flu and wanted to go home but the nurse wouldn't let her. finally she went home around three. Jessica did good for a whle but then her breathing got hard again so her parents came an got her... she never returned. :( That night we had our annual singing around the lake with the stake on the other side of the lake.
(Thursday) Today was Christmas EVE. I kept having problems waking up which is so not like me. The normal flag ceremony and I think we had a morning side or it was on wednesday. We got to do the confidence course first where we did the trust fall, spider web thing, Alphabet order with no talking, and the one where you stand on a wire and have to lean way over and use your partner (team work) to walk down the rope. ect. then off to the LAKE!!!!! I shared a canoe with Annie smith cause we both didn't want to get wet..... we saw some ducks in the lake wich is totally random, we were in second place to gather all the balls and return them to dock. This girl named Jensen and Traci kept asking if they could splash us and THREE times I said no but as we were leaving they went past and splashed us, I got the worst of it and was REALLY PISSED OFF. but I shouldn't have been I left to the cabins took my shirt off to dry and just slept there, later on I had to go help certify 3nd years at the certification rotation. I taught about clouds!! whoopie. I wasn't feeling to good I was getting dizzy and nautious. and was told to drink alot of water. I drank so much that I was pretty much in the biffy every 2 seconds.
Some of the relife socitey ladies came up, with Stavoni and they surprised us by bringing up Marilyn (her husband made her come up) I pretended to SNEEZE on sister yeo and then she chased me stuffed food into my mouth and then sat back down it was HILARIOUS!!! then I sat down accross from her..bad idea!, she reahced over and stuffed a HUGE PIECE OF ICE down my shirt. after all that, we went back down to the ampitheater to show the ladies our skit. I really wasn't feeling good, after that we grabbed brooms so sweep the dirt off the benches I got about two done then Marilyn had me stop, I sat on the benches waiting for them to finish. When we got back to the cabins we played Category, and ummmI don't know how to spell it... but another name is doctor or something. for dinner we ate with the stake in the pavillion, while we waited or ward played the game ten things. as we got up to give room to ppl and get in line I got extreamly dizzy all of a sudden and sister corry had me it down. after eating Annie and I went to the cabins and I don't remember what we did. Marilyn gave us a mask and wand that her husband sent up to us. the message form him was we are all princesses and we shouldn't let any one treat us otherwised. later the 1st years went on the brownie hike, and the rest of the girls went to the star party as Liz, sister Smith, Marilyn and I stayed, I fell asleep in my chair next to the fire and was awoken to A THOUSAD HANDS touching my FACE!!! it made me mad, they told me to come inside. but that night they were gonna read books to us but I got so dizzy I went upstairs and layed down as I listend to the stories. and we got more pj pants that night.
(Friday) Today is CHRISTMAS!!!. I really slept in today, and missed going on our service hike (in the masks we got), well just the last part of it. But I was feeling much better. we had another fireside type thing today and we painted some Guardian Angels made of wood. they were very pretty. the whole day was pretty much just for the wards to do stuff together. That night was Bishops night He came up with Asa, we had dinner together and packed some of our stuff so we wouldn't have to in the morning. during the fireside alot of girls sat next to Josie Juarez (crying corner.) We were givin a great talk by Marilyn and the bishop... then on to the testimonys they were great. in the morning we woke up finished packing and took the girls to where the busses would be. I played " Big booty" and "ten things" but then sister Smith said that we were leaving in her car before the busses came.
When we got home we waited like 1hr for the bishop to come with our stuff.... he was supposed to be there before the bus but that didn't happen.
ALL IN ALL it was fun and great. I can't wait till next year. p.s. sorry it was so long and kind fast typed :) and as usualy now pictures are coming soon.
