This week was girls camp! It was totally awesome. I was out in the 100 degree weather, with NO AC! I had to walk everywhere, well, everywhere when my bestest friend in the ward & one of my top bestest friends, was not available to drive me. Despite the heat, the sweat, the bugs, the heat, the sweat, the NO AC, I had an absolute blast. If you ever hear any stories about Amy Wilson & me, DO NOT BELIEVE ANY OF THEM. I would never moon my ward girls. I would never tell stupid jokes in front of everyone. I would certainly never dance stupid during my cabin skit. I would never PROUDLY announce to all within earshot that I had just peed in the pool (which happened to be a 6,000 square mile lake). I would never get my bottom suctioned stuck in a kayak. I would never embarrass a 1st level that I had not seen in a few years that I had held as a baby. I would never walk around the camp screaming for the girls if I could not find them. I would never do any of these things. Okay, maybe a few, but not all. If you have ever heard of Lake Murray, Oklahoma, this is where we went to camp. It was so much fun. I got to know girls form all over the Weatherford, TX stake. I think by the end of camp, everyone knew who Sister Wilson & Westbrook were. My only regret is that I did not get to be over the same level of girls as Amy (Wilson). That would have been almost as fun as if we were cabin mom's over the same cabin! I pitty the girls who should ever be subjected to that... I got to save a cabin from a dead tarantula. They had killed it, but could not sweep it out of the cabin. IT WAS DEAD, so I picked it up, looked at it, then threw it into the woods. That sucker was big, but it was dead. They were just a bunch of sissies. The lake is part of a state part and even has a resort attached to it with an awesome water games area. There was kayaking, water biking, paddle boating, wave runner's which were not for us b/c they cost $75/ hour to rent, a water trampoline, 2 slides & plenty of room to swim. Amy & I decided to get on the trampoline. She got on first, then as 4 other girls were getting on, Amy was running around in circles & jumping to make it hard for the girls to get on. It was difficult. I got on and promptly fell. I rolled onto my back & could not get up b/c I was laughing too much. Then we tried to jump, but you could only do 1 or 2 jumps before someone fell making everyone fall. The water slides were fun, but not great. Amy & I went kayaking. It is very different kayaking on a lake with waves when you are used to a calm pond. Nonetheless, I was pretty good at it. We went way far out. We joked around with some girls who had paddle boated out far also. Then when we got back to the shore, I could not get out! My butt had formed a suction with the bottom of the seat. I had to put my hands down the my back to break the suction, then i just leaned over to the side and fell out. Everyone on the shore was laughing at me! While swimming out to the slide, I proudly announced to the girls that I had just peed in the pool. They laughed. Back at camp, I asked a group of girls I knew who had peed in the pool. I proudly raised my hand, and several other girls raised theirs also.
Question: How many girls can you fit in a SUV?
Answer: As many as you can cram in there!
We were able to fit 10 girls in the car at one time. That is including Amy & Me. We took up the front, the girls took up the back! The last day, Amy packed up her cabin, fit her stuff & 5 other girls's stuff in her car. The stuff took up the trunk space & the back seat. We then proceded to stuff 6 girls in the back, & another in the front with Amy & me! There were feet hanging out of 3 windows.
Did you know that if you want to dry your clothes, they dry fast if they are stuck out the window of a SUV and left there while the sun is shining. That will dry your clothes fast!
Amy and I also had fun on the toilet's. We were walking to the potty and a friend of mine who I served with in the Ft. Worth 6th ward about 6 years ago who happened to be at camp (cool huh? we connected & caught up. It turns out that she is in the same ward as my in-laws who are inactive. She is going to look them up and try to fellowship them. Finally I have found someone in the Cleburne ward who will try to fellowship a non-active family). This friend happened to drive by in her small truck and picked me up. Amy ran over and jumped in with us and landed on my bladder! I almost peed myself. Seriously. I had to go bad and Amy just sat on me. 1 person in the front of a small truck is okay, 1 plus size person is cramped, 2 people barely fit! We were laughing and I almost peed myself b/c of all the laughing we were doing. It took us 30 seconds to drive to the potty. When we got there, Amy fell out b/c that was the only way she could get out. We were laughing hsterically all the way to the stalls. When I finally peed, barely any came out! My unedited response was, "that's all?!" Amy started laughing and we both started laughing again. We were laughing so hard, that I could not breathe. I told her that and that set up off again. We calmed down, and I reached under the stall and grabbed her foot. She screamed and that set us off again! My sides hurt so bad after that.
Camp was a wonderful experience. I am glad that I got to go. The girls there had such strong testimonies and you could feel the spirt every day. I am blessed to be able to serve with such a strong group of girls. I love them soooo much.
