So I was in "SHOCK" when I was called to be a Stake Camp Leader... Not even being in Young Women's... I was Stressed, a little angry and Nervous! But with Heath by my side I knew I was going to be OK. He had my bags packed with everything you could ever need! He packed me a hammock... burned me a Cd for us to dance to in our cabin and a package to open each day with "Special Surprises" and "Love Notes" I couldn't wait for morning just to open my package!
Here are the Cute girls that are in my ward!
(This photo was taken on skit night so Kailey was in costume with the face hair.)
My jobs at camp were...I had 6 girls in my cabin... none of which were from my ward.
Laura, Valarie and myself ran the games each day for the entire stake... and we ran the store.
Thank Heavens we were together doing all of this!
Ashley was such a trooper!
The first to help with dishes, clean the cabin, give me a hug and little did we know that her uncle was Heath's roommate in collage!

Fresh and Clean after our nightly showers!
Valerie and I having a tea party on my bunk... we played cards, told secrets and laughed. The girls kept us entertained!
Thank Heavens for Casey... she kept me laughing the entire time! 
This is how we survived the week!On our breaks we would run to our "Hide-Out" and eat a Popsicle and talk...
I sure Love these two...
We were in charge of the "PIT STOP" the store where we sold treats, drinks and Pickles.
It was Hard work... but someone had to do it!

I had a wonderful week up at camp!
I learned a lot this week!
I am braver than I thought...
Bugs aren't that bad...
Sweating from head to toe Stinks!
Not going potty for an entire week is not so fun!
Staying up all night and keep a smile on your face the next day can be rough!
Good friends can make anything fun...
Coming home was HEAVEN!
I LOVE YOU Heath!
Thanks for your Love and Support! I couldn't have done it with out you...
Kids... Thanks for being such Good helpers!
I am SO Happy I am home with you again!

Looks like a lot of fun! I'm glad your week turned out much better than you thought it would. You are much braver than me!
mom i sorry dad maizie gwen
i love all that you learned!!!! im just wondering if you almost died from NOT going the bathroom for a whole week? wooza im sure your girls loved you and it looks like you made some fun new friends jsut wish i could have been on that top bunk playing cards and laughing. you are amaizing and im glad you survived it bugs and all!!
If we're going to be friends and you're going to post terrible pictures of me you've got to learn one simple thing-I'm CASEY and my sister is CASSIE! Ask me later how to keep up straight! :) However, it was great having you around all week. We should have a girls night in a month or two.
I have been dying to hear how it went, I have thought about you a kazillion times. Looks like you had a great time. That looks like a pretty nice camp with beds and all. I am used to the tents, cooking over the fire, no showers, no music, pants only you know- really roughing it! Be ready to do it again next year because I know those girls and leaders LOVED you! I'll call you to get the low down. xoxo
Happy to hear you survived and it wasn't as bad as you thought.
How do you look so good in all of the pictures . . you are camping for heavens sake!
Dear Kelly,
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
You made it - HA - actually not only did you make it BUT you made it wonderful for all those around you JUST LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO!!!
Sure do love you, MomT
Oh my gosh Kelly you are so amazing I don't know you do everything ! What lucky girls at camp to have you. I'm sure your kids missed the best mom ever while you were gone , but since they had the best dad ever at home I'm sure they were ok. I cant imagine it was easy for a mom like you to leave your family for a whole week but its amazing what we can do with the lords help. I'm so lucky to have such a strong and good friend to look up too. love those pictures! Love Ya Adrian
So fun! That is one calling I would love when my kids are old enough. Camp is so different out here.
Good for you Kelly! I knew you would have fun once you got there. My camp is coming up and I wish you were going to be there. Lucy, the Young Women's President reminds me of you. I love her. She is always so much fun. It is good you weren't at Sholem, the music and family would not have produced smiles. I love you Heath and kids. Mostly I am excited about you coming in August. I can't wait to see you all pulling your suitcases at the airport. My whole summer is going to be fun thinking of August. Ya Hoo!
How fun that you got to go to girls camp! You would be such a good leader, and so jealous of all the girls that they have you as their leader!! I hope you are enjoying your summer so far with your beautiful family!
