Camp and the Camera

I got a new camera within the last year. Nothing too fancy, just a decent point and shoot with a nice big display screen. Well, apparently, that camera cannot handle any moisture at all. I had it in my bag at Sea World, and it got too close to a damp towel, or something, because it just quit working. It wouldn’t even turn on. So sad. It was a good camera. Did I mention that this happened about ten days before I left for Girls Camp? Yep. I didn’t have a camera to take to camp. My friend Esther loaned me a camera (thanks, Esther!!), but I didn’t really know how to play with the settings, and I had so much going on while at camp, that I just didn’t take any pictures at all. Thankfully, there were others that got some pictures. I hope they share! (hint, hint!)

The Monday before camp started, I hurt my back again. I was drying my hair with a towel, and my back just gave out. I’m lucky I caught myself, because I almost fell. And I was in so much pain! I’ve been visiting a chiropractor several times a week since April, so I called the office and told them that I needed to come in. I went to the chiropractor twice a day all week before camp. I was really worried that I wouldn’t be able to go to camp or that I would be in a lot of pain when I was there. I borrowed Mom’s back brace to take with me just in case. I used it once, and only because I was hurting a little bit and didn’t want it to get worse.

Camp was a blast! The girls in my ward are awesome. I think this is amazing: I took 14 girls to camp, and they all get along pretty well. We had so much fun together, and I loved getting to know the girls a little better. :) We had great devotionals. We played fun games. I hope all the girls had as much fun as I did! :)
