Haley went to camp on Wednesday thru Saturday. They had to be at the meeting spot at 4:45 a.m.!! That's early! Then they carpooled to Payson where they hiked 5 miles down to a waterfall, they played in the waterfall for a few hours and then they had to hike back up the mountain for 5 miles! It was really hot and they ran out of water before reaching the top! Some of the girls were able to gather enough energy to go up the mountain and bring water back down to the girls. One of them suffered from dehydration and several of the girls got dizzy and lightheaded. They were praying for rain and cloud cover the whole way up and about 2 miles from the top they were answered with a huge thunderstorm with lightening and down pouring rain. They suddenly got lots of energy to get away from the lightening and made it up the mountain! They also saw a naked man that was going down the mountain to the creek!! Yikes!! Apparently it is a popular spot for hippies!! Wish they had known that before ALL of the young women saw him!! They were supposed to camp in hammocks but most of the girls were too scared to be outside, so luckily they had tents as an option. It was definitely an interesting girls camp, but Haley had a good time.
One of my friends got a new oven and was giving this one away, since it's all black and matches my other appliances I grabbed it!
Rick took Jacob and Ashlyn kayaking on Saturday morning. They saw wild stallions and an egret.
Just caught up on your blog.
ReplyDeleteWow so different from our girls camp experience! Nudies! Hahaha
I hope Rick is doing better. That is tough.
Do you remember our first or 2nd year when it rained a ton and our leaders had us do the SUN dance in the lodge? What a crazy girl's camp for Haylie!
