I said goodbye to my family last week and headed out to B.O.O.T. (Build Our Own Testimonies) Camp with a group of amazing 12 to 18-year-old girls from our church. It was a great week! There was lots of laughter and tears throughout the week. Most of the week was filled with silliness and practical jokes (I will not mention the names of two of our priesthood leaders who discovered my fear of snakes and used this knowledge to their advantage!) There is also time set aside each day to strengthen the girls' testimonies. On the last night, there is a testimony meeting. There was not a dry eye in the camp ground. I'm thankful for good friends up there to laugh and talk with late into the night, making it our own "girls camp." I'm also thankful my two daughters will each get to have these same experiences.
When I got home, I headed out to check the garden and noticed a raspberries explosion! I think a combination of rain and sun while I was gone really got our garden growing. So, today me and the kids picked raspberries and made freezer jam. It's so great to be home!

Yeah - fun to catch up on what you have been doing. If feels like we haven't seen each other for ages.
So glad you survived girls camp - I heard it was really awesome this year!
