YoUnG W0MeN SuMmEr FuN!




Nothing says summer like fun with friends, and these girls have become just that...good friends!

I have truly enjoyed watching these girls over the summer as they have played at Girls' Camp (that post will come later), served each other, made fun things for their dads, letters to their moms, goodies to missionaries, and lots and lots of water fun!

Now they are gracing the halls of their schools.  Setting examples both to each other and to all the kids around them of love and understanding!

I love these girls!

The picture above was of these 5th year YCLs practicing setting up their tent for camp!  

Nice job girlies!

This very sad I Phone photo is of the girls making jars of hugs and kisses and memories on slips of paper to celebrate their dads on Father's Day!
 This activity was our final Camp Prep before we headed off the next week!
 The girls were practicing their camp song for Bishop's Night.  Absolutely beautiful!


 You can tell beautiful Oaklee was thrilled!!

Even the future Beehives got in on the excitement!

These girls won't turn 12 until later this Summer and Fall, but because they are all headed to 7th grade, they got to go to camp!!

Welcome Taylin, Nia, Bria, and Brooke!
 Hailey jumped in on the fun after dance too!
 This is Madie's signature smile above, and the best A.J. would give me all night!

 Kiana being captivated by the fire and Janae showing off her muscles with the tent!

 Brooke with the half-smile and A.J.'s friends getting in on the smore action!

 The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd years practicing their skit for camp!
 Dirty face Tymber being held by beautiful Bria!
 Oaklee, or (Oakpoke) as her brother calls her, showing off her monster smore!

 Younger siblings, Hannah and Jocelyn, who got to join in the fun!
 Finally, smiles from Ashley, Kiana and Alyssa without craziness!

 Ellie and Jenna creating a new friendship!
 Darling girls...Katelyn, Jaimie, Lauren, Kaylee, Hailey, and Aubrey!

Porter came along for the fun too! A very cute future Deacon!
We also made batch after batch of Rice Krispie treats to send off to our missionaries!!
ICE BLOCKING WITH THE ACTIVITY DAY GIRLS!

Ellie sporting her signature "wind blown" look as she headed back up the hill.
Annie sporting the same hair, and a smile, ready for her turn!
Tymber was following the girls up and down the hill, and was a little too close to the street for my comfort!

Brooke and Nia joining in the fun!
GO ELLIE!

Then there were hand and nail makeovers at the picnic table, and Sister Fluckiger having so much fun soaking the girls she loves!


These girls were seriously SOAKING WET!

....and Kiana's tongue again!
Pretty Sarah smiling big, and Jenna closing her eyes as she gets soaked...again!


Ashley and Lexie ready for the attack!

Love this girl!  Brooke painting designs on her nails!
Alana having a blast!


Summer is over.

In fact, the activity above was the evening of their first day.

It went so fast, but I know they loved the summer.

I love these girls.

They are making a difference everywhere they go.
