Girls Camp Wrap-up


Palo Verde / Alta Vista Girls Camp 2009!!!

From packing and preparing... to setting up camp....

To learning our devotionals and cooking our meals....

To enjoying ourselves with a little partying in the night....

and a little singing in the day.... along with some hiking, shooting, ice cream making, fabric braiding, archery, zip lining....

and a day of fun in the sun and canoeing....

It was a great week with the girls and the leaders! We had a blast and made a lot of great memories that will last forever. Hope the girls had as much fun as I did.... It was a lot of work don't get me wrong but it was totally worth it and I enjoyed every minute of it!

Holiday Weekend Wrap-up

So we were off for another adventure for the 4th of July weekend... We were headed to California to enjoy Disneyland, the Queen Mary and Hollywood, and who else would be going except the 5 of us... Brian, Cindy, Dan, Daniel and myself!

Our first stop was Disneyland on Friday. We opened the park and had a great day. We expected a ton of people but didn't fair too bad with the crowds. We were able to go to both Disneyland and California Adventure. We did all of the rides and stayed until about 11:00 so it was a full day for sure.





Our next destination was down in Long Beach to hang out for the day and do some shopping, have some dinner, enjoy the great weather and hold down the fort and people watch while we waited for the fireworks show.

The show was good... not the best I've ever seen, especially since we had just been at Disneyland the day before and they have amazing fireworks, but they were good and the atmosphere was fun too.


Our final stopping point was a quite look through Hollywood. We had to take a short walk down the walk of stars, check out the Kodak Theatre, put our hands in the hands of the stars and just look at the crazies on Hollywood Blvd. We were lucky enough to find John Travolta and anyone that knows me knows that I was in heaven!




It was another great weekend and great time away! Now we are back to reality and back to work..... Can't wait for our next adventure... Wonder where it will be, and most importantly WHEN?!
