We had lunch at Olive Garden. The girls were very excited that there were several waiters that kept walking by our table that they thought were extremely HOT!!! A couple of them even talked to them. It made their whole lunch. My lunch was made by just eating soup, salad and breadsticks!
Kade put up a good fight. He is getting big and strong and it is getting harder and harder for Mark to win. Kade vows that one day he will beat his dad. His sixteenth birthday was NOT that day. 
After quite a struggle, that made Mark a little tired, he was captured and the Kensie kiss was given. Kade was thrilled!!!
He wanted a weight bench for his birthday. Mark told me every teenage boy has one or wants one. That was news to me. Anyway Kade has one now.
Here are some of my young women getting there pictures taken.
Setting up camp
Home sweet Home. Notice our shade. We had no shade and it was hot, so Shanna and I decided we could make shade. We are brilliant, maybe a little bit redneck, but brilliant.
My favorite thing at camp is sitting around the camp fire at night.
Bishop Bauer came up for testimony meeting on Thursday and then joined us at the fire for a little while. He should have stayed a little bit longer. After he left we started playing games and missed all the fun. They decided I needed to play the old lady game. Oh MY Goodness it was funny!!! I was a big loser. Then we played Hi Yah. I am still sore from that! 
There is always hair braiding at camp
Uno was a camp favorite. Don't they look excited?
One of the girls favorite things to do at camp is the Monkey Bridge. They have it there every year and every year it is always covered with girls. I admit I have never even tried it. Shanna was a pro last year and Andrea made it look easy this year. Kensie had it down too.
We were actually driving out of camp on the last day and we had to stop so the girls could have one more go at the Monkey Bridge.
After unloading everything at Andrea's house I came home to this. Yes, I think his tractors sexy!! Mark was plowing and discing our field so he can get it replanted.
He informed my he is very glad he is not a farmer for a living. Our little bit of land is plenty for him.
As of today it is all planted and just waiting to grow...we hope. I think Mark makes a great farmer.
After shopping and plowing and discing we had to continue with preparations for girls camp. Girls camp is at a place called Wheeler Ranch. It is a big field and yes the wind blows. Last year our ward got put in the middle of the field and the wind hammered our tents. They were no good any more. So we were told we could use a big canvas Army type tent that the scouts had. However no one knew when it was last put up, what condition it was in or if it had everything to put it up with. So we enlisted our husband to load it up, haul it to Wheeler Ranch and put it up for us.
It really was a group effort. We were sure happy we went early and had our husband to figure it out.
So, with great thanks to our husbands our set up Wednesday morning will be a breeze.
