Girls Camp!

SO! these pictures are in reverse order because i'm lazy hahaha
girls camp was. AMAZING! (i would make that word bigger but that's the biggest font there is.) so if you want to hear the story the right way, go alllll the way to the bottom of the post and start there!
and that, was girls camp. the pictures don't do it justice at all. Girls camp is always good. but this year was incredible. our theme was "sisters of strength" so every cabin chose a woman from the scriptures or church history to be there role model all week at camp. A lady in our stake wrote our camp theme song

stories of long ago
tell me of women
who stood with strength, who followed there heart
are they just sroies?
what can i learn?
can i be like them? and find the power within?

chorus:
sisters of strength, sisters of light, helping each other in choosing the right
doing our best everyday
to follow the savior, to live in his way,
helping each other, sisters of strength

eve and elizabeth ruth and naomi.
esther and mary, the mother of christ,
i know their stories and i have learned
I can be like them, and find the power within

chorus

abish and sarah, ana sariah
they walked this path, with honor and strength
now it's our story now it's our turn
we can be like them we have the power within!

and when it gets hard to keep up the fight,
we'll stand as sister with power and might!

chorus

sisters of strength :)

it was really cool cause then, the lady chose several girls to record the song and me and my friend Mary got to do it :) it was awesome.

it was great and i think the whole week of being up there with no distractions just nature and friends and the spirit really made all the girls realize that we have to come together and be sisters of strength. because this world is CRAZY and we have to stick together and help each other out to make it through. we have to be sisters of strength :)
SO! all in all, girls camp was PERFECT. if you ever get the chance to go, please do. because really? it changed my life. in a good way :)

YAY the six chicks! haha have you ever seen 13 going on 30? there is a clique of six girls that everybody calls the "six chicks" hahaha me and my friends that were fifth years in charge of 3rd year certification teaching caled ourselves the 6 chicks cause we were like, always together lol

see? this is Amanda downs. one of Katrina's friends. She was jenae's cabin leader at camp. they do look a lot alike.

this was jenae being her leader lol she actually does look a lot like her

the second years (jenae's year) go on a 5 mile hike every year. so this is the group. (lead by mi papa)

Jenae dressed up as one of her leaders in her sit. it was pretty funny

at our cmap we have this tradition of "passing the torch" from the sixth years to the fifth years on the last night. so everybody gets a candle and lights it and we sing "keeper of the flame" yeah. it's pretty great.

jenae and her cabin had some pretty crazy roll calls. they were hilarious

in the skit that our cabin did, i was a pregnant lady giving birth on an elevator lol. In the first year skit, they took a little peice from everybody Else's skits and threw together one big mash up hahaha it was pretty awesome. so there was a girl pretending to be me, pretending to be pregnant lol so then i ran on and we were pregnant together lol it was pretty legit.

okay blurry picture. hahaha the fifth years are in charge of conducting "pre-campfire" so basically, you sing a bunch of silly songs to get them all riled up! :) and i was a fifth year this year! so yeah, awesome :)

the first night at campfire was the staff skit! my dad was for some reason pretending to be Kermit the frog as a reporter lol so he was interviewing the shepherds who were told that baby jesus had been born lol
