Ward Campout 5.18-19.2012

Snow+sleds+hot coco+s'mores+late night charades+early morning ice sledding+ Priesthood making breakfast+women having to help them out =AN AMAZING CAMPOUT!

I was nervous to see how a co-ed campout with our singles ward was going to go but man it was epic! We started off with getting lost on our way up there (classic Tessa & Kendahl move lol) then we had some amazing food for dinner (pasta with Sis Bean's homemade sauce-the Bishop's wife is THE best!) then we went outside for some sledding, started out at a bunny hill then a few of us left for a bigger thrill. We found the hill of death (serious-if you didn't stop at the right time off the cliff you would go!!!!) What is life without a bit of adventure-right??? haha
Once it got too dark to keep going we stopped (so we are somewhat sensible lol) and headed to the fire to warm up and make some s'mores. Chris taught us the "proper" way of making s'mores-you need to melt the chocolate as well...after a few attempts (he kept losing the chocolate in the fire lol) he made a delicious s'more that I got to enjoy :) I'm a fan of melted chocolate lol!

After that we went inside and played some banana-grams...hilarious! I saw the competitive side of my Bishop which was awesome! We laughed so hard during that game! :D
Then we made up some hot coco and played some late night charades...makes it really funny once its past 1 a.m. lol Then we sorted out and went to bed. For Tessa, Emily, and I our bedroom ended up being a walk-in closet lol. We were the last to sleep so our original spot had been taken so we crashed in there for only a few hours because our alarm went off at 6 to head outside so we could go sledding again! This time though everything had frozen over so it was all ice and super fast! Super crazy too-oh and boy did it hurt to fall off lol. OUCH!

Breakfast time came next-the men were in charge of it...but that failed quickly so the women stepped in a bit to help it run a bit smoother ;) Then we learned a new game called 10,000-you play it with dice and try to hit 10,000...but super fun and we added twists to make it more competitive ;) After that we cleaned up and headed home :( Such a fun night that went by way too quickly! But it was a blast! :)
