Young Women's Camp 2011
This year Sammy went to camp on her own. Yep! I was supposed to go with, but at the last minute she felt like she could handle it on her own. She was actually really excited to go. I drove up to camp with everyone...
But as soon as we arrived it started to downpour. I was in no way thrilled about helping to set up camp in the rain. When I checked on Sammy, she was happy as a clam with Sister Bergloff and the other girls. They were planning to sit and wait the rain out. So I headed home. Unfortunately, it ended up raining all day. All the girls ended up getting accomplished that first day was setting up camp and eating lunch.
The whole week long I worried about whether or not Sammy was having a good time at camp. When I got there Saturday morning to pick her up, she was in high spirits. I was told that she had been given an award for her positive attitude. As we drove out of the camp area, Sammy was waving to everyone she saw. On the way home she admitted that she was trying not to cry because she missed camp so much! What a successful week!

Redesigning the basement
Since Lamar and the kids will be moving in at the end of July, Jonathan had the choice of sharing his upstairs bedroom with Derek or converting the basement in to a livable space. Not surprisingly, he chose the latter. Who could blame him?
While Sammy was at camp we worked like crazy getting his room ready. We had to clean, organize and capret the basement. Then new furniture was brought in. It sure looks great now!

I have to admit that his bedroom is pretty cool now. Kind of like his own personal "cave" to retreat to when he wants to get away.

Cookies as a substitute for BBQ ribs...
Gotta love our missionaries.
I saw that no one had signed up to feed them today so I told them they were welcome at my house - although Lamar wasn't going to be cooking. Elder Stringam said, "That's okay, Sister Bunton. We can come over anyway." So I promised chocolate chip cookies since I knew my dinner wasn't going to be very exciting.
When they arrived, the missionaries sat down at the table and loaded their plates with chocolate chip cookies before dinner was even served. Elder Stringam must have eaten two dozen alone! I snapped this shot so I could send it to Lamar so he knew that we missed having him there.

Preparing for "Boot Camp"
Since the theme this year for Young Women's Camp is "Boot Camp", the girls all tie dyed t-shirts in camoflage colors. Each t-shirt also had a nice big boot print on the back side.
At first Sammy wasn't sure about the whole process, but with a little guidance she got her t-shirt AND a pair of socks done for camp!

Movie in the park
Every Friday night during the summer the city of Clarksville shows a movie on a big screen in the park. Tonight "Ferris Beuler's Day Off" was showing. I remember watching that movie when I was a kid, so I took the kids to see it.
Jonathan brought his guitar and entertained us while we waited for the show to start. Thank goodness the weather hasn't gotten too hot yet.
