Girls Camp






Wow....what an interesting experience girls camp was! Overall, it was fun and a super good experience, and I knew that I was supposed to be there. But....we did have a little run of bad luck! When we first got up there I was moving my mattress and something was wet underneath it that my hands were touching, so I look and I see that it is urine, and it is ALL OVER MY HANDS!!! It was very stinky too. So I had to walk like 50 yards to get to the actual bathroom and wash my hands. It was so gross. Then I got back to my room and saw a couple of ants above my bed, so I started spraying them. Then hundreds and hundreds of ants started swarming out, so we kept spraying and spraying and more and more came out. As they started to die, they were all falling on my clothes and my bed. It was disgusting. At the end of the ant infestation, there were huge piles of dead ants on the ground. We found out later that just DAYS before there had been a mountain lion roaming the camp, and he killed a deer and kept it under the cabin right next to us, so that is why there were so many ants! Gross, gross, gross. Then the last bit of bad luck was that one of my girls accidentally locked my keys in my car. So being that we were in the middle of nowhere I was pretty freaked out. But after a day and a half I called my insurance and got a tow truck driver out to unlock the car. So that wasn't too bad.
On a good note I got to do really fun things. The first day I went repelling for the first time ever which was a blast, the second day we went to the most beautiful lake and went swimming and canoeing, and then the third day we hiked 2 miles to a huge waterfall and went swimming there. I was in charge of 4 girls from my ward, and we had a good time together. No drama or excessive complaining, so that worked out good.
