My Girls camp Journal day one and two

Edited so no one will get offended, and so it makes sense. (I will change names when needed.)


Happy Birthday Lauren A.!

Camp again already? Time flies. Yesterday, we were greeted by a "bridge" of YCL's with pom-poms and whistle things (It was like new years!). I was hugged by the YCL's I know.  (Kristina, Ashley, "mom", Amelia, Ann-Marie etc.) And by the stake YW presidency.
This year is...................
LEVEL CAMPING!
I camp with the second years at campsites 5&6. I share a tent with _____ (I'm her secret sister),______, and ISABEL!!!!!!!!!!! And maybe the chipmunk that broke in and ate Isabel's M&M's! haha

So... we ate our sack lunches, then did rotations after hearing the Stake leaders speak.
Rotations: 1) a lady talked about our relationship with our self
2) Sister ______ did a lesson on our relationship with our fellowmen
3) Sister__________ did a lesson on our relationship with God
4) Sister__________ and ____ family talked about our relationship with our family.

After, we went to flag (which I hung at the 1st flag of the day) and ate soup.
The YCL's have 4 pieces of paper: Virtuous, lovely, good report, and praiseworthy. Only 8 YCL's have the words, and only 1 word each! you had to get to know the YCL's/ be quizzed before you could get the word.
And RIBBONS!!!!!!!!!! If you do a good deed, you get a ribbon. I didn't know about them until Sister ________  walked up and told me how fun I am and that she loves me then she tied a gold ribbon on my lanyard. She is SO cool! The YCL's and leaders had little purses that had ribbons and words in them. Each YCL had one.
All night, I went around to the YCL's and said
"Hi! My name is Sydnee!"
them: Hi. My name is...
Me: I like your satchel. Does your satchel like me?
I would almost always get a ribbon.

Then we went to our campsite and started a fire and played games.
I have done:
flag
Kitchen duty
Latrine aka "Honey Bucket" duty

__________ and ___________ brought phones and I pods. :( GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
(I drew a regular frown face, not a sideways.)


They snuck out last night to hang a bra on the flagpole.

TODAY:
Woke up at like 5. It was a WINDY night. Got dressed etc. At 6 I was ready- same with Lauren and Isabel. We took pics and stuff, then went to kitchen duty after making our lunch.
After lunch, we went on a hike.



I             HATE        HIKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(That is not near as large as it is in my journal.)



We got back and sat around. Then, grove time.

Fun facts:
-Theme of camp: Steady the course.  each level, (1-4) gets either Fam, God, self, or fellowmen to work on.
-Level 3 theme: Camp care-a-lot. I'm in tent LOVE!
-We have a camp pet. "swiper"
he is a fox that came last night
