I pledge my allegiance to Girls' Camp

Photobucket

It's tough to re-cap camp. But I'll try.

friendships strengthened
sleep missed
nature appreciated
firesides given
delightfully obnoxious songs sung
mountains climbed
luxury granted (see above pic. nothing better than a post-hike foot soak.)
pranks pulled (my favorite was the ginormous brazier...)
waistlines widened (ah, those glorious scotcheroos!)
girl drama tempered
memories made
virtue promised
Spirit felt

I love camp. I always will. It's harder when you have to leave your babes--that's for sure. I have a new appreciation for the sacrifices these women all made for me when I was a girlie. It was a pleasure to be up there among such extraordinary women and girls.

Sounds like fun. My mom told me a couple funny stories like "furl your virtur" and I was dying laughing! My mom says you are such a good leader. She loves watching you with the girls. Those girls are lucky to have you.

I just love that I took one glance at that photo and knew you were reading Real Simple. We love camp!
