Keepers~ My Weekend

The night started off with a fire…a controlled fire, the atmosphere was one of anticipation…



After a great meal, put together by the Keepers Mothers we all headed over to the campfire to roast marshmallows (regular & strawberry (just had to add that little tidbit!)) and wait to be given our awards.   My Aunt Jody handed out the awards, she also asked us to say what our “favorite” Keepers meeting was.


Elisabeth was first in line, then came Joy, me and so on :)



My "favorite" meeting was the Hair-styling by: Sis Rebekah Brandt! We got our hair fixed, read a passage from the Bible and a quote, learned hair tips and got a little hair goodie bag at the end~

All of us!

                                                    *************************************

Then Joanna taught us girls Macramé, which is really fun! You use a really long string then a short one and tie a special knot. We did beads in ours! Here are some pictures of the finished product:

                                         ******************************************************
We got ready to "bed-down" after we finished with the Macramé, we got to sleep outside in a big tent. It was pretty warm, considering the fact that it had rained :) We chatted the night away.
We got up at 6:30, 'nd started breakfast. Pancakes, eggs and Bro: Jeff (who also had slept outside) did the sausage.                                                                                                                     Minus a couple pancakes that got fliped the wrong way...I speak for myself (hey, I was being nice to the doggie) everything went well. 
 Oh, did I forget to mention that we were cooking outside?
                                                                 
                                   (Lincoln and Joshua slept under the stars (way to go guys!))...
                                                        ***********************************
After a wonderful breakfast we were all ready to go, on a 7 mile bike ride.

                                      The ride had a good many hills but we did well *cheers*
                                                             *********************************
                                                    Till was time to have lunch: YUMMY!
                                                           ********************************
Then we just "hanged out" till 2 o'clock, I had a really great time....Thanks to everyone who made this day possible!
