This weeks activities...

This past week has been full of fun things and events that make up everyday life. Two camp meetings and a young women presidency meeting for me, Chase to yoga, visits to the library, a trip to the dentist for Austin and Molly, a haircut for Molly, cub scout day camp for Chase, career shadowing at Ratheon for Austin and swimming each afternoon for all. Throw in lots of reading, some internet surfing, too much Rock Band and you have a typical summer day at our home.
I put these two lovely young women to work on a banner for young women camp. I am so glad I don't have a problem delegating - they did a fabulous job! This will be hung up among two trees in the parking lot as the campers arrive.


Our camp theme, "Bloom Where You're Planted" has been in my mind much lately and there is news swirling around the stake of possible boundary changes. There is a special meeting tomorrow for all members of the stake and all the rumors will be put to rest. All I can think is that it is each of our responsibility to Bloom Where we are planted - no matter what ward or what stake we are planted. We have been reassured that girls camp will take place as planned - I'm ready to bloom!
For our young women activity this week the Mia Maids and Laurels went the Family History Center to learn about genealogy.

This picture was taken right after Molly told me how red my eyes were and how tired I looked! HA! We did learn a lot at the family history center and I hope to dive in more soon.


Another summer activity is going to the pool four days a week. Not for swim classes for the kids, but for me! I go to the pool above twice a week for a class sponsored by the American Red Cross for individuals with arthritis and then twice a week I go to a different pool to take a aquatic class that is a real aerobic workout. We use flotation belts in deep water and get our heart rate up with some fun moves. I'm really enjoying it.
