And their gone again....

Monday morning, I took took Anna and a bunch of the YCL's up to Young Women's camp.  I dropped them and their stuff off and then headed home.  They were sweet girls and we had fun on the drive.   That took up most of my day.  



Tuesday morning, Evelyn headed up to camp with the other younger girls.  They headed off for a week of fun and learning and feeling the spirit.  



Tuesday morning, after we all got up and going, I took the kids to a nearby peach place to pick peaches.  We had fun and brought home much yummy potential.  We have spent the rest of the week using them!  



Wednesday, we went out to the river with some friends to try out our new little kayak and we had fun.  The beach area was rather small, but we had friends there and there weren't a whole lot of other people there.  It was mostly just our group and we had a great time together!  



Thursday began the great canning events...  We made syrups and jams and canned peaches and made peach ice cream and a peach cheesecake.  


Friday evening, Anna and Evelyn got back and we have our family together again!  

Saturday, we went on a hike in the morning with some friends.  We had a fun time hiking up to the falls then exploring around them.  The weather was perfect - not too hot or too cold and it it was a beautiful day to be outside with friends!  




Saturday evening, Anna and Aaron went with some friends to a dance down in Sherwood, then I went to open polo.  Numbers were a bit low, but we had enough to play at first - then some people had to leave, so we were down and eventually we ended up just messing around, but it was a lot of fun!  

Church today was wonderful - it was fast and testimony meeting and it was full of youth bearing testimony of the spiritual experiences they had at FSY and camps.  It was wonderful!   Then in the evening, we had the Young Women's camp fireside which was also wonderful!  This last month was crazy, but so worth it for the kids!
