Girl's Camp

Our Girl's Camp Group
This week I had girl's camp up at Darby. We had a great time, it was so much fun. Only one other beehive came, we have only three in our ward, Shayla. I was the only 2nd year and she was the only 1st year. We had only 7 girls so we all got to sleep in the cabin.

This is my buddy Shayla.. we were pretty much insane the whole week.

The first night we did a skit. It was about a princess (Toadette) that was on her search for a companion. Her first date was the "know-it-all", played by Miss Natalie. Not only was a wearing a cape and a Harry Potter costume, I even had the glasses. Walking pigeon-toed onto the stage and tripping, having a horribly nasal voice and snorting, I brought up quite a few laughs. The next was the "Joker" our leader Sis. Cecil played her. She had a joker hat that she wore. She cart-wheeled onto the stage and her line was "Knock, Knock." Our Froggy chorus replied,"Who's there?". " The bear is over there," the joker said while placing her arm around the princess. "Where, where???" the princess screamed... "No! No! don't run!"the joker said," Stop, drop and roll!!"....you see how it went we also had some dress up as Batman... but we called her "Badman"... Her line was you better be hoping these guns are on safety..." after she kissed her biceps... it was a pretty hilarious night. Also later that night I jumped into the youth leader's bed and she pretty much freaked out it was so funny! I had some other pranks, and they all got laughs...

On Thursday, Mom and Dad came up for the hike. On the hike the limitation is 20 people. We ended up with 21. Halfway on our hike to Monument, (which I might mention I was the only 2nd year on), a park ranger caught up to us. He had been hiding in the bushes to see how many were in our group. The first thing that he did was take a picture of our group. He then informed us that he was going to give tickets to all of the adults (6). He wouldn't tell us how much the tickets were, but said that he would explain us to that later(?). We tried to negotiate with him but he was suffering from little man syndrome, he was about 5'3, (I was taller than him), a king looking for a kingdom, bent on giving tickets. He also kept repeating that he was the park ranger "manager" of the Grand Targhee National Forest. In the end he sent half of the group back down the mountain and gave Dad and the other priesthood leader a ticket. It took him over one hour to issue the tickets and Dad was about ready to throw him over the cliff but somehow restrained himself. The ranger said that we could not pass another group from Darby, than said that we had to be within a 1/2 mile (30 minutes) away from another group. After he was threatening to arrest any adult leader for continuing on with the hike, we decided to stop at a rock ledge jutting out of the mountain for lunch. We listened to the Monument story, and all felt the spirit. Our hike ended after that and we proceded to head down the mountain. The rest of the day was pretty boring waiting for other hikers to return to camp. Mom and Dad were pretty frustrated because the girls weren't able to finish their hike; but you know how they like to tell stories of their lives.....but it was a pretty intense afternoon.
