Alright, as promised, I will now share about Girls' Camp. I'm so sorry there's not very many pictures to share, but I was literally in the kitchen ALL DAY LONG! We (the three cooks) cooked for 130 people every meal, every day. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I haven't worked physically so hard since we worked on the ranch. We were up at 4:30 a.m. to be in the kitchen by 5:00. We would start breakfast, serve, it, clean it up, then start lunch. We'd do the same thing over and over all day long. Every once in awhile we got to put our feet up for a few minutes, and one day I decided to forgo rest and ride the zip line instead. It was so fun! But very high. The hardest part was getting up there (40 feet up a narrow post), and the second hardest thing was getting enough courage to take that first drop. But once I was in the air, I was fine. I'd totally do it again. I gave a little waive before I plunged:
I originally wanted to go to camp to spend the week with Haley. But she was busy most of the day, and so was I, so we really didn't see each other much. But at least we were near each other all week. So I guess that counts. She slept in a tent with some friends. I think that was her favorite part: socializing with friends. She just loves Girls' Camp. This was her second year, and hopefully I'll get to go back next year, but maybe not as a cook. Or maybe as a part-time cook, if they have that position. I'll be sure to bring ear plugs. We had a snorer in our cabin. But thankfully, our high councilman ran to the nearest town pretty much every day to get needed items, and he picked some up for us. I was able to sleep for a few hours each day, and I even took two showers!
The best part was the scenery. I had no idea it could be so beautiful in central MT. We woke up with deer grazing on the lawn, and it reminded me of the days at the dude ranch. I love being up in the mountains, so all the work was worth it!
