NO BOYS ALLOWED!!

The mother/daughter campout was last night. My mom, Sydney, Lily, Marah, and I all went. Lily had a lot of fun with the idea of 'no boys allowed'. She kept naming all the boys she knew and how they couldn't come, including 'Sam'. I had such good ambition. I took our little tent and my girls and I were going to share our double sleeping bag and sleep out. I was actually excited for it, but my mom was there and she doesn't do camping anymore without the camper, so we ended up whimping out with her as well, but I had a lot of fun just hangin' out with the girls.

At the talent show, Marah was cuddling and making friends with all of the strangers sitting by us. Would she cuddle with her mom? Not a chance!

The pathway up to the new ampitheatre is lined with these awesome posts that light up and have the young women and boyscout values on them.

This is Lily and some of the other kids trying to encourage poor Martha to keep trying on her long forgotten accordian. She did great and she was hilarious to watch. She is one of my favorite people. Love you Martha!

You guessed it! That is Lily centerstage, shakin' her booty! People were bustin' up. To make matters worse, she had slipped in the mud earlier and was then wearing huge cut off pants, tied up with a rope, and she had to keep hiking them up as she was dancing. The first time she did this was pretty funny, but then the next act was a little shy girl trying to sing for everyone when my unruley child jumps back up on the stage and begins dancing circles around this poor child. I was at the top of the crowd and had to run down through all these people and practically tackle her off the stage, all the time trying to hide my face. Needless to say, I was mortified. Poor Lily just wanted to dance.

Marah was just having fun watching it all and in style.

Finally, Lily was suppose to be on the stage, and me, well I was forced. As this video shows, my talent is definetely not dancing, but the miamaid class and it's advisors were asked to help the middle back person with the talent she was turned in for, which was dancing. She didn't want to do it alone, but she is really good if you watch her. Lily did her scream and rock on pose at the end of the dance. Lily made quite the name for herself. People kept telling me she needs to be in some sort of dance classes, since she seems to love the stage so much. The whole thing was a lot of fun and I'm glad I had an adventure just with us girls.
