Camp LaDaSa

For an Elders Quorum activity, we went to Camp LaDaSa (which is owned by the church, same as Mutual Dell in American Fork Canyon). We were a little nervous no one would come or that we wouldn't have enough food but it ended up being a huge hit... hopefully we will do more in the future. It was fun to visit with ward members that I don't ever really see or talk to due to my primary calling. We went up early Friday afternoon to hang out with Meg and Terr before everyone else started showing up. We could've stayed in the cabins there but heard all they had we cots and since all our camping stuff is in the trailer, we just hauled that up... which ended up being a blessing. The word "cots" was an understatement. they had small wooden bunk beds full of spider webs and dust... it sure was a site to see, but they did have small wood burning! I felt bad for all those that do girls camps there... I would've much rather prefered sleeping in a tent.

So when we got there, we walked around an enjoyed the blue skies a warmer weather. We got out all the canoes and enjoyed floating around the lake.





Once everyone got there, we dug into dinner and visited around the campfire. Jeff has become quite the pro at building fires.... as long as he has lighter fluid :) We sure had a huge fire. In fact it was so hot, that roasting marshmellows wasn't even an option, unless you had a 4 foot roaster, and even then it was still too hot.

Apparently my flash was too bright for Mac and Jaime




The next morning we woke up, had breakfast and went to the lake. Now if your a true Alaskan, then 60 degrees is the perfect temp to go swimming. But I'm not and never will be, so unless its 80 degrees or above you will never see me in the water. But it was fun to watch others swim and push each other off the floating docks





Then the men played a mad game of sand volleyball while the girls played with all the kids and sat an enjoyed our "relief society" time.






Even though it was a quick overnight campout, we sure had fun getting away... again!!! If only I could get on top of my work schedule, Jeff and I would go camping every weekend. We love the time together and love all the little adventures it brings.
