Camping!

This past weekend I went camping with the Guides one last time. We had a great time, and the weather was awesome! Our unit and another unit went together, so we had a nice group of girls. Here they all are, smiling pretty for the camera on Sunday morning. We went to Camp Mush-a-Mush, which is the camp I grew up going to. It still looked as nice as ever. The lake was beautiful, and the camp is really well maintained.
We went on a hike along the water, and stopped along the way for some lunch. We're pretty hard core for a group of ladies!

A few of the leaders relaxing and enjoying our beautiful Saturday.
Here's where we cooked and ate all our meals. There are so many neat ways to cook food outside.
Kim, who was one of the leaders from the other unit, and who I also just happen to work with at Redwood. As you can see, she is a little wet from our Saturday activities.

Since it was almost 30 degrees and sunny on Saturday, we nixed a few of our planned activities and set up a slip and slide for the girls. They had a blast!
Susan, smiling pretty.
Our third year girls going to collect more water. They weren't allowed near the lake so we had to go with them to get the water for them.
Loon Island, which now appears to have a waterslide set up on it. I wonder who owns it? Whoever it is, they're lucky.

There were plaques all over the camp in memory of my grandmother, who did a lot for the camp when she was alive. This was on a picnic table.

More slip and slide!


The girls were soaked, and loving every minute of it!
We had a bit of thunder and lightening on Friday night, so we decided to sleep indoors to be on the safe side. The leaders slept in this lovely new cabin.

The girls divided themselves up between these two, older cabins.


The mess hall.

Some pictures that I randomly snapped around the camp. This chapel is named after my grandmother.


Our campsite.



The outhouse that thirty girls and leaders shared for three days.


Just kidding. We had indoor washrooms.


Great times, great weather. I'll miss the girls!
