Girl's Camp 2009

Success! Another Girl's Camp came and went, and I think the girls had a good time. This year was much less stressful because I wasn't the person in charge. Plus, it was my second go at it so I had a better idea of what to plan and expect. One thing I've learned along the way is to focus less on making camp perfect and more on making the girls feel loved. And, they're actually really easy to love when you take the time to know them, rather than wasting all of your time being stressed and uptight over all of the details.

I wonder why someone brought shaving cream to camp. Curious.

We saw some incredible sunsets & sunrises.

This was the night we were all playing in the water & on the beach & spotted a couple of sharks a few feet away.

Can you see "Girl's Camp" in the sand?

And finally, our little octopus friend. We also saw 5 or 6 dolphins!
