There seems to be a tradition that if you don't keep the girls completely occupied at every moment, they'll come to grief. Maybe it's true, but I like down time. Also I'm not so hot at planning meals even when not at camp. Still, I'm trying to brace myself, since with 3 daughters fast approaching that age range, I'm bound to get a turn.<br /><br />And now that I think about it, maybe I'm even a little scared of girliness, at least the really drama-laden kind.<br /><br />Our ward's girls seemed to have a great time this year (and did a lot of the same things yours did--trust falls and a sunrise hike) so maybe I needn't fear. I'm glad Maddie had a great time. I have good memories of Mia Shalom, although the first couple of years some of the older girls were pretty mean. Once we were the older girls, we put an end to mean pranks and befriended the younger girls instead. That totally paid off for us when the younger girls started offering us foot massages or to help when it was our turn to cook.Zinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01296527480464047161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30256831.post-69556913067866849602010-07-18T19:21:21.194-07:002010-07-18T19:21:21.194-07:00God, I hope they never ask me to go to girl's ...God, I hope they never ask me to go to girl's camp. It absolutely terrifies me. Not the camping part. I can pitch a tent in the dark and start a fire with a battery and steel wool. But the sheer mass of girliness horrifies me. I'd rather spend a week in a foreign country with no language or translation skills. Glad Maddie did better than I ever did.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13108730598971640896noreply@blogger.com
