Girls camp 2013

This week is Girls Camp and both girls got to go! It just so happened that Tessa's 12th birthday was the second day of girls camp, so she barely got to go!!  She was very excited. She was a little disappointed that she didn't get to get her ears pierced until after camp, but she got over it in a minute!  We promised her a birthday shopping trip including ear piercing when she gets back. 

All the girls before leaving on Tuesday morning. 

Getting ready to leave

The leaders filled Tessa's tent with balloons while she was at morning flag ceremony yesterday! And since her birthday was also bishops night, Micah and I tagged along with Eric last night. We took cupcakes for all the girls. They all sang her Happy Birthday and she blew out her candle. 

Kaitlin got Saran wrapped in the hammock. She loved it. :)

All the girls with Eric on Bishops night. This is the first time Eric has been to girls camp. He loved it. Each ward presented their bishop with an award. Eric got the "inconceivable" award. It was clever. Then he got to do a little bishop's fireside around the campfire. Afterwards they played the game, "signs" together. Micah got a little tired and grumpy after awhile and finally fell asleep. A little before we left, there was a sudden downpour. Fortunately Micah had timed his feeding well because I gathered his stuff and went to the truck to feed him and it started raining about 5 minutes later. Eric thought it was funny when all the girls started screaming.
