Girls Camp Rocks - What a great week!

I came home yesterday from a wonderful week at camp! Gosh, I always dread going to camp and I can't tell you what a great week it was!

This year our stake theme was "Can you imagine". Our ward choose the Wizzard of Oz for our place. Below is the handout I gave the girls on the last night of camp. I gave a talk about how the scarecrow wanted a brain and how we too need knowlege, how the tin man wanted a heart and how we need to love and serve, and how the lion wanted courage and how we need to have courage to choose the right and how our ultimate goal like Dorothy is to return home to our Heavenly Father. I made a darling key chain with a yellow bead (our value color) a book charm a heart charm, and a lion charm to represent the scarecrow, the tin man and the lion.



I thought they all looked so cute together I had to get a picture of them in the basket. I just needed Simon in the basket, he could have been Toto!


Here we are all clean in our camp costumes on Tuesday morning!

Here are a few of my girls the afternoon we got to camp!


Instead of skits this year we did American Idol. Each ward sang a song. Below are our stake leaders, they changed the words from the song my guy to my thighs, they were hilarious. We had three judges, Randy Jackrabbit, Paula Abdrool and Simon Scowl. They were so funny and did such a great job!



My girls perfromed the "Bare Necessities" one of the lines said to forget about your iPod and your cell phone! It was so cute and they did a great job! Randy said that we were the Bomb! Paula quite liked us but Simon said we reminded him of the Bear Country show at Disneyland that was a little too long. Dang Simon!


It was such a great week! The girls and the leaders were so fun! We laughed and laughed. I loved getting to go!

Coeur d'Alene Rocks

This week for work I traveled to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. It is gorgeous here! This is the view from my hotel room! It's absolutely breath taking.

This afternoon after the meetings the guys all went golfing. I went to the spa and had a facial, it was so relaxing. After the facial I went outside and walked around the hotel.

The hotel is behind me. It's so lovely here! (Be sure and check out my clean face!)


I love red geraniums and everywhere you look here there a tons of red geraniums. I had to get a photo of them.

Here are a few of the boats that are docked by the hotel lake.

Here is a view of the lake! It's so pretty! I definately want to come back here again!
