4H Camp

I got to take Oakley, a couple cousins and a few friends to 4H Camp last week. OH MY WORD!! I was glad I survived. The girls were all 10 - 12 years old and SO MUCH FUN!! They kept me going all day and all night long! :)

Cousin Ali, Oakley, Clogging friend Whitney, Kyla (in front), Clogging friend Brooklyn (in back), Ciara, Cousin Macady and her friend Jessica. This was infront of our 1st cabin. Thats right 1st cabin.....on night #2 as we got back from the square dance and ready to tuck in I headed to the bathroom with a couple of the girls and a few minutes later the rest of the girls came busting through the door with the announcement of "A MOUSE IN THE CABIN!!" For those of you who know me you know I DO NOT DO MICE!! I seriously was ready to check into a hotel or drive my bum home. I was brave though and we moved cabins at about 11 pm. The girls were WIRED after all the craziness and didn't go to sleep until sometime around 1 am. I am still exhausted!!This is on the hike. Brooklyn (in pink) had some issues with lightheadedness and so her and I only made it 3/4 of the way there. The other girls all did fine and made it to the top and back. It was a pretty steep hike. We had fun even if I didn't get to the top.These are 4 of the cute girlies at the gun shooting range. Oakley is the closest to the camera. Oakley was the best shooter for the girls in her group. She was pretty excited about it. I was pretty proud. Getting a 22 for Christmas this past year sure helped with that! Here she is showing her shooting skills! The last night we were there they had a carnival/rodeo for the kids and their new stick horses. I also took t-shirts for the girls in our cabin to decorate. The girls came home with stick horses, picture frames they decorated, candles they made and a ton of little things from the carnival. They also got to make homemade ice cream, learn a square dance and do archery and rifles. They had a great time and we are already planning to go back next year!
