Thanks to Covid-19, Girls Camp was canceled! So! My dad took my sister and I camping. We went up to Diamond Fork campgrounds and stayed for, half day on Friday the 10th, all day Saturday the 11th, and half day on Sunday the 12th. It was verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry hot, except it was the same temperature as the city, but we since were outside and noticed it more.
We got to go on a big hike trailing up the side of a river. We (My sister and I) went up and down the river to take pictures and collect rocks (I did most of the rock collecting) We also went on a drive up to a small waterfall! We got a lot of pictures for memories. The whole area was very beautiful and picturesque.
We had a Big fire! (That I helped make). I cut up multiple logs into firewood, and I lit the fire one night for dinner. Around the fire I ended up eating so many marshmallows (some of which were s’mores). I gave some fire cooked marshmallows to my sister. Because I was trying to get the perfect Golden Brown on at least one of them, for Me!
Alright, so, Girls Camp was online this year, and one of the suggestions to do for a new activity was, and I quote, ” #12 Are you turning into a couch potato? If so carve a couch out of a potato!” Naturally I had to do it. So I grabbed a potato, then I decided the potato was too awesome to carve. So I drew a face on it………and named it “Potato Potato”
“Potato Potato” went with us Camping! and had lots of fun, It did multiple activities with us. Like: Camping, Swinging in a hammock, Swimming in a river, Tree climbing , Hanging out in a teepee , Sat in a deer ‘bed’ , Hung out by a fire pit, Cloud watching, Stopped and smelled the flowers, Hiking, And Sleeping in a tent.
Needless to say, “Potato Potato” will never become a couch!
All in all, we had lots of fun in our own version of Girls Camp. Within the next few weeks I’ll be going on another camping trip, and I’m super excited.
