Oh I love camping...especially if you get to cram 4 girls into one little tent! We sure did! It was known among the camp as the "Princess Castle"! My singles stake left Thursday afternoon, June 24, and drove up to Raft River, ID...somewhere between Burley and Pocatello, I think! The Steadman's Place has two water slides, a zip line, large areas of grass, and lots of scurryng little mice!
We were also known as the "Princesses" for this fact. Kaylee and Amanda own pink chairs; however the funniest fact is that Jessica, Amanda's roommate, bought Amanda her chair before we left Thursday without looking at the tag. Do you see a difference in size? :)
Oh man, we laughed so hard! We were almost crying! Jessica unknowningly bought Amanda a "Junior" chair, but it worked and she used it!
Erika Johnsen played her guitar for us Thursday night. She had some really good songs that she had written! I just wish not all of them were about her ex-boyfriends and relationships! She's a hopeless romantic, aren't we all a little bit!
The Steadman's Place! The black and white waterslides are seen as well as the zip line which starts from the yellow ship like mast thing! :) We had so much fun! We played shoeless soccer, scum, and some were able to shoot clay pigeons. I was able to shoot a bow and arrow brought by my friend Shane. I wish I had pictures of that, I looked like Robin Hood. Now if only I can aim like he does!
Sizzlefest...tents, canopies, waterslides, and fun people! Friday was so hot! I reapplied my sunscreen about 6 times! It felt great to be outside, but by the end of the day we were ready for bed!
Myself, Amanda, Jessica, and Kaylee with the "River Rat" tube! The fastest tube on the waterslide! We got about 5 on this thing at one point. We just had to make sure we bailed off in time or you ran the risk of hitting the end and flopping into mud puddles. I had a few encounters in the mud puddles and ended up covered in muddy water and grass! Oh we looked so attractive!
Check me out! Amanda is hanging on the top for dear life!
My first zip line experience! I love it! I don't know why I've never done it before, but I know it won't be the last!
Service project...build awning! One group formed lines and moved rocks to decorate a hill on the Steadman's property, but I worked to help build the Steadman's newest awning. With 4 guys and another girl, we measured, sawed, and nailed the wood beams in place. After the side was done, my friend Shane told me to get up on the ladder and he was going to have me use the nail gun! Really? Sweet! The other guys were jealous that I got to do it!
Our creation! I nailed those wood beams across in place! We worked on it for 3 hours!
My fellow workers, Nichole, Dave, and Rob in the background!
Check me out! Oh yeah, it was a lot of fun! See how they wish they could be using it!
I found out Dave works for Disney! His group just finished designing the video game for the movie Toy Story 3! I also found out he can get himself and 3 other people in for free to any Disneyland theme park. My new best friend!
Good work team! Shane, Lynette, me, Justin, Rob, Dave, and Amanda!

Friday night, we started to play soccer before the talent show and a storm rolled in. We ended up playing through the storm and as we walked up to the amphitheater, this was the result of how the sky looked after the storm passed! Beautiful!
Friday nights sunset! Raft River has beauty that is unknown to most of the world!
Is it bad I only remember the guys names in this photo? :) Ben is back left, Shane in the plaid, and Dave lying down in front. We played scum each night and this night I won the president and vice-pres spots!
Me, Tavin, and Christine!
Just some beautiful scenery shots from Raft River! It was a fun getaway. It was great to meet so many new people in my ward!
