Girls Camp 2011

Well, I survived! It was fun, but LOTS of work to be a camp cook. The girls all seemed to have a good experience and they were all grateful for the food, so let's chalk this one up as a winner! We were blessed to be camping at Heber Valley Camp, a very special place.

Here are several pictures, most of which are of Maren. There were lots more with cute cute girls, but they aren't my daughter, so I figured I shouldn't post them to my blog.

This is our official group photo. Maren & I are in the back row--4th & 5th from the left

She's ready for anything!

Here I am waiting "ever so patiently" for the orientation meeting to begin...

and here's Maren with her friend also waiting for the same meeting.

Maren and a couple of friends on the lake

My good friends, the Paulsons, in their paddle boat (I was in one just like this with the photographer, yet somehow I didn't make it into any pictures)

Maren with two of her friends after singing "Edelweiss" for the talent show

Me with one of the other cooks, Donna

and our other cook, Noreen

Maren & I working on the humanitarian project--teddy bears for children in crisis and trauma situations. Our stake finished hundreds of these. It was quite a sight, and brought tears to my eyes.

Aren't we cute?
