Girl's Camp!!

School was out, June was upon us, and that spells Girl's Camp! With Lish being in the Young Women's Preisidency, Charlie as a Bishop, and Al as one of the Young Women, it was a family camping trip on Kolob Mountain!
We listened to some oustanding talks from the Stake Presidency, and enjoyed some good music and singing from all of the ladies at the camp.
Everyone was involved with crafts and other fun activities. Leaders and girls had a great time and came home as better friends and sisters in the Gospel.

Girl's camp even gave Charlie a chance to let his hair down (figuritively speaking) and let his true personality come out. Maybe he shouldn't get out so often.

Allie had a great time doing some archery, canoeing, and working hard doing service projects. (If only we could get her to work that hard at cleaning her bedroom!)

As you can she, she had a great time!! (She loves to get her picture taken!) It was so much cooler on the mountain than home. We enjoyed it and almost hated coming back to the heat. It was a growing experience for all of us.

Trip to the East (U.S. that is!)















Lish and I had the chance to go to D.C and Gettysburg. It was really fun to finally get her out of the Western United States!

Lisha had never been east of Utah, so getting to head to D.C. was a real treat!






The highlight of the trip was getting to go to the Gettysburg battlefield!









I finally had my two greatest loves in the same place! My lovely wife, and Gettysburg! It doesn't get much better than this!





Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.
