Girls Camp 2009

Girls Camp was so much fun this year!! We had 6 girls and we went up Spanish Fork Canyon where our church owns some property. The weather was totally crazy - sunny and warm then cold, rainy, and we even had hail! Typically in these types of situations (wet muddy cold everything) I tend to get quite grouchy, annoyed, and grumpy but I totally surprised myself and had a great time. This whole maturity thing can be fun sometimes. Anyway, because of all the rain everything up there was green and happy. There was even a Golden Eagle's nest right by our camp! The momma was very nervous about us walking underneath her nest everyday and she would give out this really loud screech. She was protecting two darling white fluffy babies!

Our ward tied for first place in the dutch oven dessert cook-off. We made a raspberry cheesecake with a chocolate drizzle and it was amazing. Not only did it taste great but we added a few green leaves and a handful of raspberries to the top and I thought to myself, "Lets see Paula Deen pull that off out in the wilderness!"

We all had a great time and came home exhausted but happy.
(Especially to see a flushing toilet :)

Holy crap, that is dutch oven artistry! I want to eat it right now. Just me, a spoon and the pot on my lap. Looks like you had a fun time. The baby bird eagle is cute but only in a way that the mom could love...

Paula Dean would be sooo proud of your dutch oven dessert! It looks fantastic. The girls looked so happy to have you as their leader!
