Summer!!!

It's the summer holidays now :D and i just got back from camp on Saturday. It Was Awesome!! I loved it, the best camp yet! The food was great (thanks Mom and Penny ;) ) and so were the activities. The first day we spent most of it setting up our campsite and stuff (did I mention it was kinda a joint camp? the YM were having their camp at the same time and place as the YW) so we didnt really do much else.
The second day though, we had a hike. I LOVED the hike it was awesome. Although, the YM got to go swimming in the resevoir and we didn't (I love swimming). So, we walked past the YM trying to show off their amazing jumping-into-the-water powers, and ended up at a shaded, grassy area on the other side of a second resevoir...if that sentence makes sense haha. So we settled down and were silent for 30 minutes. Absolutely silent, we just wrote in our journals, took in our surroundings and prayed. UNTIL (dun dun dun) who should appear? The YM :O. Laura and I were sitting quite near each other (and yes, we were actually not even looking at each other till the YM appeared) and we could see them on the other shore walking up the path. Who else should we hear but one of our friends say something about "If YOU were attacked by a polar bear, what would you do?" That started me and Laura giggling. BUT THEN we heard an 11 year old boy (I'm 15 in case you didnt know) say "I'm gonna ask Kaitlyn out" (and yes I was the ONLY Kaitlyn at camp). That was enough to send me and Laura into a maaaajor case of the giggles, we just couldnt stop :D
after that...we did crafts, and later on in the day we had a campfire...ok it was pretty much night haha.
So, the campfire...first we just sat and sang hymns. That was lovely, all the youth and their leaders singing...it sounded beautiful. At some point we stopped singing, and we moved onto a testimony meeting. Absolutely brilliant, i loved it. Although at one point, there was a girl named Natalie who fainted at the campfire, and that kinda disrupted the meeting. I finally got up (after natalie was gone) and bore my testimony (ummm is it bore? i dont know haha). I cried. Then i went and sat back down. And cried some more. Then someone else bore (???) their testimony. And I kept crying. I cried lots haha.
So, after that was finished Laura, Kirsty and I were dragged up to the kitchen where we reaceived (YAAAAAY) hot water bottles!!!! they were nice and toasty (we froze the first night). So we went to our tents, and we heard...I think it must have been Jamie (the priesthood leader at our camp) go "Man by day...WEREWOLF BY NIGHT!!" and then he howled. We laughed at him ^^
OH on the second day we also had a water fight, we got SOAKED it was fun ^^
Ok, im bored of writing now, and not really much happened on the last day...we learned the YW theme in signlanguage, it is so cool!!!!
Anyway, I shall leave you now :P Adios!
