We may have overbooked kids this summer with camps. Between Makayla and Caden they were gone pretty much all of June at camps.
Makayla started out summer break by attending FSY in Provo with Brooke. FSY is a week long church camp where kids 14-18 get to be spiritually uplifted and spend time meeting new friends. Makayla and Brooke had a great time. They had some fun boys in their group and managed to get a few spiritual moments in.
They stayed in one of the dorms at BYU. I think it was a great opportunity to see what college life would be like. And Makayla clearly had enough treats to get her through the week.
A week was a little too long for me. I was missing Makayla so much!! I was so relieved to pick her up early Saturday morning and hear all about her week.
Then just a few days later, Caden and Tyler headed out for Stake camp. This camp is fun because there are so many different activities like ax throwing, ropes course, zip line, and archery. Our ward is not very big, so it was fun to go to camp with lots of other wards to meet new people.
Unfortunately on the way home there was an accident that stopped traffic for a few hours. The boys eventually got out of the car and met some kids in another car and all started playing card games in the middle of the road!
Then just a few days later, Makayla went with Brooke to her ward conference. Makayla was a little nervous for this trip because she didn't know anyone other than Brooke, and their friendship is in a weird place right now, but Makayla ended up having a great time. They went rock repelling and boating. It was a memorable time... don't forget to ask Makayla about the creepy homeless guy named Thomas that found his way into the camp. It's a good story!
Maybe next year I should not plan as many camps for the kids so that they can spend their whole summer with me!
