Girls Camp & Savannah

Girls Camp... braids, learning the Heimlich Maneuver, making matchless fires, learning first aid, cooking with dutch ovens, running hot and cold water.... what? Oh, yeah. We had a gadget guru up there this year that set us up with running hot and cold water! Girls Camp couldn't get any better than this. This was my first time back to Girls Camp since I was a staffer, and I loved sharing it with Erica and Kyra both.
Our cousin Savannah that came out from the Sacramento area is experimenting the Heimlich maneuver on Erica. You can see the back of Erica's head with braids that were ALL the fashion! (Some things never change!) Below is Kyra's (blue cap) obsession with the matchless fire technology. She WOULD NOT leave this thing when they were going on to other requirements. I was just an observer and taking pictures, but as a Mom I wanted to kick her in the behind and tell her to be obedient and listen to her leaders!
Learning first aid. Erica is on the far left.
Our favorite shirt up there... need I say more?
Playing WAH! Erica is in the back in the white shirt. I took a ton of pictures of this game because the girls were laughing so hard and having so much fun. We are definitely going to play this for family night when Grandma and Grandpa Frye arrive this week.
Our first day the girls discovered a great way to cool off and take the pressures off of setting up their own tents.
Night after night we enjoyed beautiful sunsets and skies dripping with diamond-like stars. We were camping on private property in south-eastern Idaho.
"The Girls" -- Kyra, Savannah and Erica. We took Savannah to Salt Lake and did the tourist-y stuff. We toured the Conference Center, saw the Joseph Smith movie in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, ate lunch at the Lion House, toured Brigham Young's historic home "The Beehive House" and bought lots of beautiful pictures in the Church Museum of History and Art.
