Camp & So Forth

Meagan and I survived yet another year of camp. It was Meagan's 6th year, so it was her last year and she was a YCL (youth camp leader). Camp was fun for the most part, and I enjoyed it, but it sure is alot of work when you're one of the leaders.

We transformed the Pavilion into "Heaven" by putting gauzy white material all around it (with a staple gun, white Japanese lanterns hanging from the rafters and white silk flowers on the tables. It really looked rather amazing.

The theme this year was "It's How You Play the Game" and each ward chose a different board game as their theme. Ours was the game of Life, but we didn't do much with it - we had enough to do with the Stake game and dinner, the service project, the skits, certification, visiting various wards and a spiritual hike that highlighted different people who were touched by Christ's life.

Meagan did all right until Thursday night (the last night) and I was pretty much ready to go home, too. It was SOOO cold at night and a cot is only so comfortable.

Jarom marched in the Ute Stampede Parade in Nephi the day Meagan and I got home from camp. He said the rodeo and parade were long and boring. At least he got the chance to experience it and decide if he liked it. It could have been that he didn't get home on the bus until 12:30 am Saturday morning. Apparently Jarom really likes Arby's because anytime the band stops at a group of restaurants to eat, that is always what he chooses. Maybe it's because they don't put condiments on their sandwiches - probably.
