Ward Camp! You've gotta love it. Just look at the size of this crab. Who wouldn't want to grab hold of that?
Every night everyone just brought what they had for dinner and shared. That way there was always something that you liked.
On Wednesday night we met for book club. We read The Hunger Games and had snacks delivered by parachute from our sponsor.
One afternoon Wendell and I saw a wild peacock and her 4 baby chicks on the side of the road. If you enlarge this picture you can see the chicks beside her. I don't think we ever had wild peacocks in Illinois.
We spent our afternoons at the really beautiful beach. This is Kathleen after she had been body boarding.
And here she is while she is body boarding.
Ryan got a really mean sting from a Portugese Man-o-war. He said it really stung when it happened but the worst part was the days of itching afterwards.
Matthew and Kat came out on Friday and even spent the night. Kat is such a good sport.
And of course the yearly football game on the beach.That's Wendell in the white shorts.
I'm not sure what Matthew is doing with the Bocci ball, but it looks pretty cool.
It's really too bad that Wendell can't get as tan as me. He still looks good though.
Each night we gather at the campfire for a while. One night each auxilary had to act out a Book of Mormon story. I am being the tree of life from Lehi's dream.
And here is Bishop Jung being Bishop Jung.
with a little help from Jr. Jung.
Kathleen was pretty tired by Saturday morning.
And Ryan had his arm chopped off by Asher. Ryan didn't seem to mind too much though.If you want to make me really happy and have a great time too, then you should come to ward camp next year.

what you should have got were pictures of me, ryan, matthew and dad all riding the body board at once. those would have been good. why do i always have pictures of me sleeping at camp??
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to come to your ward camp next year. My kids would have so much fun. I loved all your pictures.
ReplyDeleteDang! How many nights was ward camp? I counted 4, am I right? Talk about bonding!!! Can we come next year? Looks like fun. I am impressed with your acting abilities as the tree of life! That takes talent! Tell Wendell I feel his pain of not being able to get as good of a tan as you!!
ReplyDeletewhen is she going to have that baby? aparently not yesterday when i predicted.
ReplyDeletei think i will come to ward camp next year, it looks pretty fun;) i love kathleen and matt's bums touching! we like your kids!
ReplyDeleteWe have to figure out a way to come to your ward camp!! Max and Colette (and me and Chuck and Lexie and Chels and Burke and Mal and Ken)
ReplyDeletewould be in heaven. It looks so fun and relaxing. I hate camping but then again I've never camped on a gorgeous beach in Hawaii with my beautiful talented and tan sister. I wish I could see Ryan in real life. It's been a long time and I miss that boy. Love you!
You know The Jackmans will be there for camp next year. Thanks for the offer what can we bring? Can Eric do a Hawaiian Dance for the ward with his great tan? Stupid hawley! ?spelling
ReplyDeleteWard camp is 5 nights. Mon. - Sat. Even if you don't like to camp it's fun. we have warm showers and flushing toilets. I'll let our activities person know you all are coming. It's spelled haole.
ReplyDeleteThat kind of camping looks fun---even to me---a complete non-camper. I could bring a big jug of sunscreen and just enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
ReplyDeleteKat looks great----not very big at all!
Very nice picture taking!
ok that's it, I'm determined to make it to ward camp next year!! In the 3 years I've been in this ward I've only been to camp once and I hurt my back so I had to go home early. blegh.
ReplyDeleteI love the tree of life pose. I also love the tan comment. You are so funny, brett and i stil don't know what we're doing without you :) (reference to brett comment in hawaii of what we were going to do without you when you left...in case you forgot)
