Girls Camp was great. I loved being a stake leader. It was great to hang out with those amazing ladies in the stake and get to hang out with our ward, and to not have quite as much responsibility as being a ward leader. I was in charge of the survival march and it turned out great. The girls loved it more than I thought they would. They learned lots of survival skills like prayer, first aid, water purification, orienteering, knots, signaling. And then they got a slip of paper with a scenario where they needed to use the compass to get a cache of supplies where they had to set up food, water and shelter with the skills they learned. There were also edible crickets for them to try there. And they got to throw knives while they waited.
We came home from Girls Camp and had 2 days and then we left for Tahoe. We took Danny's friend, Blake with us this time. We had a great time as usual. We floated the Truckee River, went fishing and swimming at Donner Lake (which Seth absolutely adored), kayaked and jet skied at Sand Harbor, played games, Danny and Blake were human pinatas for the little kids where they had candy glued to their shirts and they had to run away from littles trying to pull the candy off. Seth and Ruby loved the new zipline in the Smith's backyard. Danny and Blake played a lot of basketball in the driveway.
Danny and Rachel leave for EFY tomorrow. I have been praying my heart out that Danny will let the Spirit in and have a good experience. I sure hope he does. I'm sure Rachel will do fine. I'm looking forward to the week with just littles. It'll be fun to focus on them.
