St Charles Girls Camp

Casey and I got back from Girls camp on Friday. We spent two days and three night there. We both had a BLAST! All of our girls are so so so cute and fun! For our first day there, we went on a hike to Bloomington Lake. We hiked up this little creek here. Casey carried one of the little beehives up this. (I was scared that he'd slip and they'd both go down, but Casey got up just fine!)

There was a little pond up there where our president read a story


Here's a couple more pictures from the hike


When we got to Bloomington Lake this is what we saw.


There was a really cool rope swing here. Casey and I didn't have our swimsuits so we didn't do it but the girls did. Here's a video

That night we had fun around the campfire. There are some pretty fun camp songs. One of my favorite ones is called the jellyfish. The girls got Casey to join in on some of them!! He was so cute with the girls. He later said as we were coming home that he felt like they were all his little sisters. How cute! That night was the snipe hunt. Casey, of course, wanted to scare the girls. We heard all the girls scream not once but twice when he scared them. After that the girls had us try star tipping which I had never heard of. You spin around with your head up looking at the sky. Then you say when you are dizzy and someone flashes a light in your eyes. As soon as that light hits your eyes everyone goes down instantly. It was weird but funny! The next day we spent at Bear Lake and had an awesome time. That night was our testimony meeting and the value trail. The spirit was so strong there. All the girls and leaders shared their testimony. Of course there were a lot of tears. I gained a lot from girls camp and so did the girls. Here's a picture of almost everyone.

Way Way last weekend we did this!

Ok so I'm finally getting around to putting our fabulous time we had at the Stadium of Fire on here! We went out to eat at Outback Steakhouse. I had the best babyback ribs....Yummo! We got there a little early to park and find our seats. We took some pictures before it started.





We snuck this pic of Henry and Dini. I really like this next one it's priceless!

We weren't that high up in the stadium, but I bet it did help to have the binoculars!

I thought I took a picture of when Carrie Underwood sang the national anthem. That was such a moving performance. I had goosebumps and I even started to tear up a little bit. I'm glad we live here and I'm grateful for my country.
This is a video of Carrie Underwood. The recording and sound isn't the best though.
We tried to take some videos of the fireworks. Hopefully it turned out ok!

Well we took lots more videos and pictures but they're just not the same as being there. Here's one more we took of us.

Casey, I think, has his eyes so wide because he always blinks during pictures. So he makes his eyes go big like that!
