The Nolden Family

In order to get ready for Young Women Camp this summer, our young women had to have an overnight campout to pass off some of their requirements (like building a fire, cooking something outside, setting up a tent, etc).  This is because when they get to camp they will be sleeping in air-conditioned cabins .  Wimpy, I know!  But my kind of camping! 

Not all of the girls were able to attend, but I think those that did had a lot of fun.  Check it out:

Setting up tents: Sister Mitchell (leader), Eileen, Megan & Janna.

Janna modeling our lovely green tarp...

This was the "campsite." Ok...so it was the Pyne's backyard! You're pretty much in the forest wherever you go in Georgia...so you might as well have running water too, right? ;-) Don't they have a beautiful backyard?

Sister Mitchell enjoying her dinner....

Sister Kimble: "You did NOT just take a picture of me eating dinner." :-)

See if I let you do that again...

Kadison and Liz...don't you love Liz's boots?

Vikki taught the girls about cloud formations...

 

Mikayla, Janna, Kissa and Tajheeta...practicing the skit they will do at camp in July.

Liz is pretty comfy to sit on ;-).

Can you see the cutest little boy sitting at the corner of the house? He lives there and had been playing in the backyard...I looked up and saw him sitting at the corner of the house just clapping his hands over and over....he is sooo cute!

Kadison, what numerous hands and feet you have!
