Girls Camp

This year I got to go to Girls Camp too!  I was called to be a camp cook along with Sis Griffiths in our ward.  We had a lot of fun.  I mostly was in the kitchen but got lots of visiting and watching all the fun things the girls were doing. I loved going and Makenna said she had a great time too.  My only complaint was the sleep- which didnt much exist except for the one night where I snuck away and drove home for one good nights sleep (it was only 45 minutes away).

On the last day of camp we went boating.  Kevin came with our boat and Bro Neddo and Bro Owen brought theirs too and we split the girls up.  I think that was the highlight for a lot of them.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

So in the past couple of months our house has been experiencing a bit of a Harry Potter obsession.  They read it and watch it and listen to it and talk about it and analyze it.  It all started when we listened to the audio of the first book on tape on our Spring Break road trip.  That ignited the spark.  Kevin and I decided that now would be the time to visit Universal Studios The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.  So as soon as school was out we loaded up into the van equipped with our Harry Potter audio books and made the 18 hour drive to Orlando. 
The experience did not disappoint.  The girls described walking into diagon alley as walking into a dream.  Everyone got into it and loved playing with their wands and casting spells.  Everything was really well done.
We stayed on property at Cabana Bay beach resort.  That worked out fantastically and gave us great access to the parks and the water park, which we visited almost daily.  We spend five days there and it was magical!
