The summer I was 21 I got invited back...this time as a leader. I got to be a grown up with all the women who'd help to raise me...Anna Mae, Leigh Ann, Karen Checketts, Aksel & Pat...you get the point.
I also built a bond with two of my "girls"...both of whom are now "women". One a return missionary and one a mother of 4...and me. We've come so far from the "need" we fulfilled for each other that summer...in a good way. There is no way to explain it...it is what it is...and we're family for life...in our own way..."Mutha" "Virginia" & "Dakota...north" LOL...only we get it and that's why it's funny.
there were also a few others to join our fun...from time to time that summer we sidewalk chalked Anna Mae's house...went for ice cream...found some fire fighters...and made Mitchel Brady wear a boa. We also frequented the Applebees more times than I can count...I may never eat their mashed potatoes again.
**I'll have to dig up more pictures...

That is so funny!! Is that Jessi Ely in the pictures with you??? I miss camp lo mia!!
Were we junior staffers the same year? I can't remember. I just know it was my favorite year. Were you a stake leader the year we could only stay for a day because something was wrong with the water? LOL- just had a memory. Who was our 10th grade math teacher. The one with the gloves!!!
OMG. OMG!! People are wondering what the heck is going on in my cubicle because I can't stop laughing! I can't believe you had these, love them! Just for the record, we made Mitchell wear that boa, but the pose was all him!
