Sydney's Summer: Girls Camp

Girls Camp was so amazing!
Day 1
Day 1 we got in bishops car with McKenzie, Lauren, and Susanna and traveled 2 1/2 hours to St. George. The reason it took so long was because Sister Penman's tire broke and they had to replace it. When we finally arrived in St. George we went and sang to the nursing home and then walked in to an incredible, gorgeous vacation home. One story with a basement, a pool, and a basketball court. I slept in the den downstairs with Susanna Morris, McKenzie Peck, Alyssa Smith and Lauren Fairchild. We swam all day and had hamburgers and beans for dinner.

Day 2
Day 2 we went on a hike in the narrows at Zion. It was so gorgeous. So we had egg sandwiches for breakfast and then we packed lunches for the hike. We hiked about 5-6 miles. We hiked in the virgin river and it was so gorgeous! I loved it! It was one of the prettiest things I have ever seen. We finally got home and we had chicken stuffing casserole and buns.

Day 3
Day 3 we went on a treasure hunt for church history. First stop was the old courthouse. It was used in the 1800's and had old paintings. Stop 2 was the Tomas Judd Store and Brother Lathem bought us anything. I got Razzles, a candy that is candy at first and then turns into gum. Stop 3 was the Jacob Hamblin house. It was my favorite stop because it was so interesting. Stop 4 was the tabernacle. We just drove around it. Stop 4 was the Brigham Young house. It was OK. Stop 6 was the pioneers museum. I saw my great, great, great, great (?) grandpa Joseph Lazarus Matthews and his wife Amelia Matthews in pictures on the wall. Stop 6 was the Salt Lake Temple and we did baptisms for the dead. I couldn't because I'm not 12 yet, so Shelby, Jade, Sister Penmen, and I went to Cafe Rio and then the Iceberg for dessert. We watched 3 movies in the St. George visitors center. After, we went to Tuacahn and we had a backstage tour of the set and then we watched Mary Poppins. After (at 11:30 P.M.) we went to Denny's and got pancake puppies (strawberry and blueberry) and dipped it in frosting, and we also had OREO milkshakes. We went to bed about 3:30 A.M.

Day 4
Day 4 we woke up and packed our things. We had cereal for breakfast. We also had a testimony meeting. Finally, we packed the cars and the RV and headed back to Henderson, NV. I rode in the RV with Genevieve, Hanna, Susanna, Lauren, Lindsey, McKenzie, Alyssa, and Aubrey. (The RV fit a lot of people)
