BRANCH CAMP OUT!!!!

This weekend we had our 3rd annual branch camp out. It was a very small turn out but an absolute blast. We headed out Friday evening to Dilberry Lake and arrived around 7:30 getting our tent and supplies set up then mixed and mingled with friends. Around 9:30 we had a fireside that Mark prepared and did a fabulous job talking on how we need to soar like Eagles instead of perch like Parrots. Then Brother Jensen got a fabulous game of Big Booty going and was the event of the evening with Micah Jensen coming in as the victor. After visiting and some smores eating we headed off to bed. Mark and I got to try out our brand new sleeping bags we got for our future camping trips with our kids, and I must say they were worth every penny. So warm and pretty cozy. Mark was sweet enough to let his prego wife sleep on the cot well he slept on this tiny air mattress. I think I got the best sleep I have ever gotten when camping. We woke up Saturday morning and had a joint pancake breakfast with everybody there, with sausages and eggs. So yummy. It was so nice out Saturday morning that we decided to head down to the lake at 10:00 and stayed until lunch time. Mark missed out on the morning beach activities as he brought the Quad and headed to Ribstone to tear it up. He got back at lunch time for some delicious sandwiches, veggies and cherries. The afternoon was planned for a baseball game but it was so gloriously hot everybody voted on going to the beach again and playing ultimate frisbee in the water. When we got there it ended up turning into the funnest game of pig in the middle frisbee ever. I played for a good 20 minutes but once people started jumping on others and dunking them to try and get the frisbee I knew it was time for me to opt out and let everybody have there fun. They probably played for another good hour and had a blast. We had to be out of our campsites by 2:00 so after the game we headed back to camp and left for our short 1 1/2 hour ride home. Mark and I decided to make a pit stop in Chauvin for some junk food and to get pictures of the world's largest softball. We got home around 4:00 and by 5:00 our heads hit the pillows and had a three hour nap. This was probably one of my funnest weekends of my summer and so glad we went, we got to know some new couples in our branch better and had a blast every minute.
