Last night was the white shirt dinner and bishopric night at girls' camp, so Tim and I went with the rest of the bishopric and their wives up to Pine Top. This is the 3rd year Tim has been in the bishopric and we've been up there for the night. It never ceases to amaze me what girls' camp is like for these girls, and how it is NOTHING like the experiences I had as an awkward teen...
First, they get to stay in cabins, and there is a pool there...seriously. When I went to camp, we got tents that we set up ourselves. Then comes the real difference: they have COOKS!!!! There's a big lodge that has a kitchen, and when it's time for a meal, you just line up and get served by the cooks. Last night they had pork ribs, baked potatoes, and fruit--all prepared and ready for you to just eat. This is not camp!! Whatever happened to each girl making her own meals on her little home-made tuna can stove?? They just have it too easy!
It makes sense to me, though, why all these girls seem to love camp more than I did as a girl... Perhaps I would have liked it better if I didn't have to cook anything and I got to go swimming! Plus there are no chiggers in Idaho like there are in Texas...
We had a fun time, though, and I wonder if this was our last trip up there as a group.
You gotta love pinetop! Sounds just like my experience as a YW.
ReplyDeleteIf it makes you feel better though, I just got home today from camp with the YW in the meridian stake.... and they camp in tents, and cook all thier own food. It really makes me realize how lucky we were :)
(Although this year I took Grandpa's little trailer! There was no way I was tenting it at 7 mos preggo!!)
Glad you had a good time!
