The One where Camp is Funny!

As is to be expected, we had some pretty funny moments at camp.  By far the biggest photo op was during the Minute to Win It challenges.  Check these out: (the girls are going to LOVE me for posting these!)

Gabby & Anne Marie picking penne up with spaghetti.
I think Gabby wanted to win! The focus!
 

Danielle & Anne Marie

Bonnie & Gabby

Ryann competing in the stack-nuts-on-a-popsicle-stick challenge.

Bonnie participating in the eat-the-cookie-off-your-forehead competition.

Gabby wanted to see if she could do it.
Or maybe she was just pretending to be a pirate :)

The next challenge was using a tennis ball inside a stocking to knock over 10 cups.
So much harder than it looks!

 The girls thought the nylons were hilarious!

 Because they are!!  Anne Marie looks like a spider!

And Ryann looks bald!

Balloon balancing.
You can always catch a funny facial expression during Minute to Win It.

Hopefully not seeing the future too soon here!

Other funny moments:
Ryann competing in the ninja challenge after skit night.
She actually made it to the final although this seems a bit unfair.

I love this picture of Gabby's face!

 Why is she freaking out?  This little guy right here.

Poor Ryann got dehydrated the second day of camp,
which gave her some pretty severe nosebleeds :(
Thank heavens Melissa the Nurse was prepared!!

She recovered in time for the 1st and 4th year nature hike.

It was so long Gabby had to carry me back to camp ;)

Champion cheese griller!
 
It started to rain really hard on Thursday so we gathered in the pavilion during free time and played games.

Beehives!

Photo bomb!

We played Pass the Pigs...

...and Bang!  We weren't allowed to bring face cards to camp but they
never said we couldn't shoot each other or drink beer to regain hit points!

The hand slapping game.  We used to play this game in high school before volleyball matches.  Aww the memories.  Also note the tarps we had to hang up to keep the eating area dry.  It was sooo windy!

 
Shelyse had just gotten pregnant right before camp (it's ok, she's married :) and was pretty tired all week.  Seriously, what a good sport.  I can't believe she made it sleeping on the ground all week!  One afternoon though I thought something was wrong with the tent and looked inside to find this.  I'm not sure if it was for shade or she was just too tired to close the umbrella :)

Another random moment.  I couldn't stop laughing when I got
home and realized I'd taken this picture getting out of the tent!

Silly Ryann.

Silly Danielle.  She wanted to see how many rocks she could put in my lap.
Let me tell you- a lot.  It was so heavy!

Helping Ryann get a hit on the volleyball court.
 
The last night of camp the ward bishops and stake presidency came up.  They played a running scavenger hunt game that was hilarious!  Ryann (far right) was chosen to participate as was her dad (third from right, he's our bishop).

And guess who won!  Actually, Debbie did.  Haha!  But Bishop knocked his own daughter out of the running.  Ruthless I tell you.  (I'd probably do the same thing!)

TBC again....

What a fun leader you are! Looks like y'all had a blast. Being preggo at camp is not the best. I went pregnant one year and the best part was I was about 18 weeks and it was definitely noticeable and when I showed up the other leaders asked me to register. They thought I was a YW. Hilarious and oh so scandalous. Hahaha.

Other leaders thought Shelyse was a YW as well. She is younger but definitely not a YW!!
