GIrls' Camp 2011

We just got home from Girls' Camp on Saturday! This year was new and exciting as I was moved to be the 3rd year hike leader! (I've been the 2nd year hike leader for 3 years previous.)

That meant that Jim and I were fortunate to be the leaders of Andrea's hike again!!

The coolest thing about the 3rd year hike is that the girls get to repel. It's rather scary-- it's a long way down, but they loved it. (some more than others!)

Jim spent the days on top of the rock making sure that each girl was safe :) We had awesome youth leaders and awesome adult leaders. We learn about being like the North Star, holding to the rod, and most importantly about our Savior, Jesus Christ, and His Atonement.

It was the best. I was honestly surprised at how much I loved this hike!! The girls were all amazing. They learned they could do hard things (along with using a girl-made latrine-- ick)

i left my heart in san francisco

After taking Marissa to the airport the rest of us played in San Francisco for the day. We went to Pier 39, Fisherman's Wharf, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Andrea found a hot sailor!

cute couple :)

Jim and I overlooking the Bay and the City.... Or should I say the City by the Bay??

Riles and Andee :D

The beautiful Golden Gate Bridge

Andee and me.... the boys rode their bikes over the bridge, while we 'satchel' girls shopped in the gift shop and drove over the bridge!

Jim, Riley, and Andrea before the bike ride.

The boys and their bikes :)

Berlin, Germany!

Grandpa, Marissa, and Grandma

The suitcase can only way 44 pounds!!! Yikes!!!

On Friday, June 30th, we took Marissa here!! The San Francisco International Airport. (It is a pretty sweet airport!!) She boarded her plane (the new Airbus 380 on Lufthansa!) and left for BERLIN, GERMANY!

No, she isn't going merely to watch the women's world cup... She's actually on a Study Abroad with BYU. She will be there for 8 weeks! We hope to see lots of cools pictures and she hopes to become much more fluent in German! A very cool opportunity indeed.

Leaving the American River

The river was rising fast and we needed to head to our next destination... Andrea celebrates that we get to go to Taco Bell :)

The gold panners! Note Riley's full pan! He will search for gold in this 'found' dirt.

Riley kept 'what he found' :) We did find some gold flakes. Panning for gold is quite fun. I think we could have stayed and done it for hours! A nice float down the American River would have been fun too!
