I had the wonderful opportunity to attend young women's camp this year as a leader with the stake camp committee.
The campsite was located in south NM and was absolutely breathtaking.
The campsite was located in south NM and was absolutely breathtaking.
The theme was "Happily Ever After, A Princess Retreat".
(My campsite was up this trail)A total of 5 days I was there. Might I add that I Thankfully did not get sick with a bug that others had gotten.
While there, I not only got to know some really great ladies, but I also learned how to cut a tomato properly, how to strip iceberg lettuce properly and that there are GIANT Giant Marshmallows that exist.
On venue day, I gave a class called Charm School. There I gave a quick talk about taking care of our bodies and then the YCL's and other leaders gave the girls manicures. It turned out Great!
(Three Blind Mice)
Each Ward and the Stake put on skits that had there theme tied into it. They were super entertaining, everyone did a great job.
We picked Cinderella as our main theme and not to be biased or anything but it was pretty HILL-ARE-EE-US. As you can see from the picture the lady sitting in the chair (Janessa) couldn't keep from laughing for very long. I too was laughing constantly.
The last day early in the morning (6:00am)everyone hiked to the lake lodge which was high up in the mountain and overlooked the lake with tall trees all around.
It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
At this place we had our testimony meeting. We began with songs and of course prayer and during the songs I could really feel the spirit.
It was a very nice break from being around my two boys ;)
I hadn't laughed so hard in a very long time.
I had the very best time and was so grateful for the opportunity to be there and for Ryan's support in my decision to go and let me not forget the two wonderful babysitters (Jeni & Tina) that watched after Keedan while Ryan was at work.

Looks like you guys had so much fun! I am going camping with the youth for youth conference again this year... Last year we stayed in cabins, this time tents...yikes.
Yes, it was a ton of fun! I hope your camping experience is fun as well! I brought an air mattress to put in my tent, along with a sleeping bag, blanket, and several pillows....I was SUPER comfy!
