I made another trip to town this morning for my prescriptions and some last minute stuff for the pedicures. Kaeli got some cheap flip flops for the girls to wear around camp after they get their pedicures. I picked her up and we rode up to camp together. We got there in the early afternoon just about 20 minutes or so before the girls arrived from their hike. Brother Curtis and Brother Skousen filled up our wading pool and had it ready for the girls when they arrived. They loved soaking their sore feet!
Kilee says thumbs up!
More girls join in the fun.
Kilee likes the camera.
This little pool served it's purpose.

After the spa treatment, it was time for lunch. Sister Theresa Smith, Diana Curtis, and Judy Hunter had made chicken salad for us served on croissants. We also had chips and watermelon, grape salad. It was quite a yummy lunch.
After lunch Karla and Brother Reynolds left. We wanted Karla to stay but couldn't convince her.
Sister Sherry Swansey helped the girls make leather bracelets. Julie Wilhelm had ordered the mocking jay symbol from The Hunger Games for the girls to put on their bracelets.
Working on bracelets.
LeeAnn made a bracelet for me.
Trenda forgot her sleeping bag so after she made her bracelet I took her home to get it. The girls camp is only 8 miles from Vernon. We had a nice visit. According to Trenda the hike was a little too long and she thinks we should have prepared for it by doing some hikes before camp. She also got very cold sleeping on the ground last night.
When we got back it was time to set up the two tents the girls will be sleeping in. It took awhile for Julie, Kaeli, Brother Applegate, and I to determine what the tent assignments would be. Because Alex Jones is openly gay it was decided that two leaders should be in the tent with her. Here is what we finally came up with: Tent #1: The leaders - Julie Wilhelm, and Kaeli Nicoll, Alex Jones, Jordyn Applegate, Madalen Carroll, and Trenda Wilhelm. Tent #2: Kilee and LeeAnn Hunsaker, Hope Lootans, Kelly Reynolds, Shelly Applegate, and Mary Swift.
I am exhausted and anxious to see if Sheri, Ian, Nate and Mandy have arrived at my house so I leave a little before 5. I miss dinner and Judy Hunter's history of the camp. I think I pretty much hear the history the day Judy brought us up to show us where the camp was.
Back at home my guests have arrived. I go shopping with Mandy and Sheri at Safeway in Show Low. Since today is Ian's birthday I left him a card on the counter with a gift card inside. I also bought him two pieces of cheesecake at Safeway, one with cherries, and one plain. When we return home Ian and Nate have already fixed dinner. Grilled shrimp, and chicken and some other goodies. Sheri had brought me a green chili burro from Burger House so that's what I ate for dinner. We watched Master Chef. I fell asleep. I guess I should tell a little about Nate and Mandy. Nate speaks Mandarin Chinese and works for the government. Their family has been living in Indonesia the past two years and now they are going to live in Bejing, China for the next two years. They have 5 children who are very well behaved. They have 3 girls who are the oldest, and 2 boys, just like we did. Their oldest is 12 and the youngest 5. The two boys love Evan. The names of the Detman children are: Bryn, Rhiannon, Aderyn, Maddox, and Griffin.
