Laurel Retreat this year was SO much fun!! A fabulous way to end my 'career' in young womens. :) We went up to my leader's parent's cabin in Bear Lake. It was super nice, more like a house. :) When we got there Amber and I quickly gave ourselves a tour of the cabin. Here we are on the patio outside! The cabin had a really pretty view of the lake.
After we got settled and unpacked, we went on a little hike. It was so beautiful and was perfect! It wasn't hard, more like a long nature walk. :) FYI - chacos are perfect for hiking! Just as comfy as tennis shoes. :) haha. I took lots of pictures, I just love my laurels!
McKell, Meagann and Caitlin.
Amber is such a hottie. :) haha.
Best friends! Just as the timer was going off I told them to catch me, luckily they did! haha.
Abner & Abish.
Taya, Amber, myself, Caitlin and McKenna.
Taya, Amber and myself.
hehe...
This was such an awesome tree! Probably the highlight of the hike.
We were pretending we were in Hawaii. :) haha.
The back of the sweatshirt that I designed...
This is what I did...only they printed it in black.
After our nature walk we went to LaBoe's and had some delicous shakes. Amber, Taya and I all ordered seperate ones and then shared, that was wonderful! :) haha. We then made our way back to the cabin and played quelf. I love that game! It has you do silly things, it's hilarious. :) We played for a good hour and a half.
This was the best thing that McKell and Caitlin got! They had to slow dance to a song...and McKell hates being touched. It was hilarious!!!!
Whenever we were on the same space as another player, we would have to hold hands. :) haha.
Amber was supposed to be a ninja...
Taya was making a face mask, and McKell...I don't know what she was doing! haha. After playing games for so long, we ate a delicious dinner that my leaders made, pasta! Brother and Sister Atkin came, along with Brother Sessions. We had a little fireside afterwards, luckily I didn't cry! haha. It was wonderful, love my girls and leaders!!
We slept on the patio that night. Meagann and Caitlin got too cold and went in during the night, it wasn't that cold. ;) haha. It was so beautiful! The stars were amazing. We all got into bed around midnight, Amber and I talked for about an hour though so we didn't get to bed until around one. At 3:30 AM, we both woke up at the same time (not waking each other up!) and we both decided we were hungry, so we went and ate. Haha, that is not normal for us! We both are usually sound sleepers so that was weird. Plus, I was living off four hours of sleep from my crazy graduation party. We finally got to bed around four and at six we woke up to watch the sunrise. It was beautiful! Especially with the lake, worth the lost few minutes of sleep. :)
After watching the sunrise we went back to sleep and woke up at 9:30, ate a delicious breakfast and were off the the lake! My camera sadly died, so I have no other pictures. :( I learned my lesson early, I have an awful sunburn. I didn't think it was that hot so I didn't bother putting on any suncreen. Oh well, hopefully it will turn into a tan! ;) haha. I'm really looking forward to Girl's Camp!!
