Fishing at Sheep's Crossing
Evan enjoys his ice cream with Maddox and Griffin.
Back at home I do some baking before heading back up to camp. I use a couple of recipes I got off of Facebook. The first is a double chocolate Coca Cola cake and the second if four ingredient lemon cookies.
I arrived back at camp around 1:30. Brother Wes Smith was teaching the girls how to tie knots. He use to be a sea captain so he knows what he is doing.
Hope practicing her knot tying.

Kaeli Nicoll helped the girls make lanterns to put their glow sticks in for the testimony meeting this evening. LeeAnn made one for me. I wanted to take a picture but it got broken last night when James was taking the garbage out.
Brother John Wilhelm taught archery this afternoon. He was very good and so was his daughter Trenda. Karla came back and loved shooting the bow.

The guy on the end is Brother Stepp. He and his wife are in charge of the camp during the summer.
He was very interested in the archery. I guess his son has won several awards.
Half the girls shot while the others waited.
Trenda was the best shot.
This afternoon was the 1st Annual Vernon Ward Hunger Games. Julie dressed up in a pink wig but I didn't get a picture because my camera ran out of batteries. She had people at six different stations and the girls had to figure out quardrants with their compass to know which station to go to next. They got different colored clothes pins depending on how well they did at the stations. Purple was the best, and black the worst. When the girls were in the center of the "stations" circle they could steal each others clothespins but as long as they were at a station they were safe. Here were the six stations: At Randa Covert's station they had to eat fire hot Cheetos because after all they are girls on fire. Denise Hall was in charge of the tent setup station, Brother Justin Covert did the 1st Aid, Brother Smith did the knot tying, Tamara Applegate the scripture station where she asked them questions about scriptures that had to do with fire, such as, who saw the burning bush? And Julie did the orienteering station. Trenda and Jordyn tied for the most points.
Back at the cabin Sheri and Mandy had a cookie contest. Sheri made her delicious chocolate chip cookies. I have never tasted Mandy's so I don't know how they were.

Of course these kids voted for their mom's cookies.
Back to more girls camp news. The bishopric cooked a nice steak dinner for all of us. After dinner we sat around the flag pole in the dark since no campfires are allowed, and had a testimony meeting. All of the girls, including Alex, bore their testimonies except Hope who is a little shy. I was a great evening.
When I got home James had come home. He wanted me to try some of the pork chops that Nate had cooked so in spite of the fact that I had already eaten a steak dinner, I had a pork chop. They were delicious. Nate is known for his culinary skills.
