So, because we drove so far on Saturday, we got to spend all of Sunday at home. First thing Monday morning, though, Mariah, Cheyenne, Calianne, and I were off to Young Women's Camp. We were not psychologically ready for another trip! But, you know what? It turned out just fine. In fact, I feel really blessed that I "had" to go because it was really great. I learned a lot from the other women there and I got closer to the girls and was inspired by their testimonies and growing understanding of the gospel. We stayed in total comfort--beds and bathrooms in the lodge, great food served to us right on time, and activities to remember: horseback riding, boating, hiking, archery, swimming, and mountain biking. Add singing, skits, and spiritual devotionals and you've got yourself one terrific camp!


































I still was super happy to see my bed again and be back in my own little domain by Wednesday afternoon. Sarah took care of Beth and Ben during the days and Savannah helped at night. Kevin left Tuesday morning for a business trip and got back super early Friday morning. It was a rough week for all of us! We were super grateful that Grandma Gazdik took B&B to her house on Tuesday for some fun time for them!

The rest of the week saw a lot of laundry getting done. I spent the rest of the week doing my clients' financials for June. Cheyenne and Calianne got back on the tennis courts trying to "get the rust out." Beth and Ben played with friends. Mariah went straight back to the softball fields to ump the final two days of the end-of-season tournament!

Friday night we had a treat as attended a pool party for the families of the stake presidency. We ate great food, watched as the men played a rousing game of watermelon ball, and watched the kids go down the slide and try to make it across the pool on the slackline. It's beautiful weather here and my favorite time of year!
