boys camp



NOT, THIS IS GIRLS CAMP!!

Jessica and I had SO much fun camping at Strawberry Reservoir down at Soldier's Creek. We were in Loop D at site 14. The best site at Soldier's Creek. Man, we make a GREAT team. It was SO much fun. But seriously everything you could think of to do at a boys camp we did. Slept under the stars in a tent, hiked, fished, napped, played with fire, trespassed (in a way) and did things even better than boys would have thought of to do, like playing games, writing haikus, singing, it was good. Reading, spiritual thoughts, picking up worms, the laughing seagulls, and the chipmunk/squirrels/rodent things, great music, great food, the bathroom cleaner than our apartment's. It was so worth our time and money. And we are going to do it again! Man I love her SO much. Who would have ever thought in the two years I have known her that we would have come to know each other so well, and to compliment each other so well, she helps me to be better daily, and I am so grateful for her. Trying to figure out how the two lakes are connected on top of the mountain, discussing our families, futures, plans, hopes, fears, discussing the gospel, and inspirational thoughts, relaxing, playing, laughing, it was perfect. So I guess it is official, SUMMER has begun and us girls are just as good as you boys, true feminists. (yes, that was in Josh's memory) Happy Camping!

Squirrels - A haiku by Em and Jess

1 Squirrels so cute and small
pitter-patter go their feet
we giggle at them
2 Jess fears hitting them
running fast across the road
suicidal squirrels
3 Em likes to peg them
rocks are made for hitting squirrels
they think it is food
4 Squirrels are really dumb
projectile rocks, not food
Really, squirrels are dumb
5 Despite their efforts
squirrels will not get our wheat thins
We fight to the death
