Girls Camp 2012 * Dana Ranch Ward

Our Stakes theme for girls camp this year was : Be Loyal to the Royal Within.

IT WAS A GREAT THEME. Here are a few free printables. 

The top one I found on Pinterest. Here is the LINK!

The 2 free printables below are  some I made (inspired by others). They are also on my Pinterest board.

Enjoy the free printables if you'd like!

The Beehives met at my house one night to make crown shirts. I loved watching how creative the girls got. Each shirt was very different. 

Some of us rode up to camp with the girls. 

BUS RIDE! 

The ride ended up being pretty fun.
I did about 1/2 the girls hair & was able to get to know more girls in our neighborhood.

Setting up tents... ALWAYS a good time.

Sister Heaton was our Ward Camp Director. She did so awesome. She made everyone a SNUGGIE. We were warm & decked out in purple! OH.. and we also wore our crowns that we made a few weeks before camp, at mutual. 

PURPLE QUEENS!

HIKING TIME.

2nd years did a 5 mile hike.

Friday night. Bishops Night..

By Saturday morning, we were very spiritually lifted & closer as a ward/stake.

I loved our theme:

Be Loyal To the Royal Within.

It was a great year!

End of School Year 2012!

 I THINK THE MOST EXCITING THING ABOUT THIS YEARS " IS THAT CHERYL RETIRED! YAY YAY YAY!! 

The Cummard family did special things for her last few days of teaching. 

This was one of the things, that I put together.

And YAY for swim season!

 THE POSSE.

All the 2nd grade Cummard (1st) cousins.

 At the beginning of May, the youth in our ward had a special walk.

It was called "Onward to Exaltation".

We walked over 9 miles to get to the Gilbert Temple.

It was well planned & something to always remember. 

"Steps to the Temple" in my mind.

 All the 2nd graders at Ellie's school loved taking a field trip to a local museum. 

 Dinos & GOLD!

 Proud Parents... YES, that is us. Ellie had a great year. Lots of awards & etc.!

 Every Friday, I run Kid's Day Out at USA GYM for potty trained kids.
