WE HAD SUCH AN AMAZING TIME AT THE EVER POPULAR 'BANKS LAKE' THIS SUMMER. ABOUT 130 PEOPLE FROM OUR WARD GO EVERY SUMMER AND CAMP FOR THE WEEK. JEREMIAH WASN'T ABLE TO GO, BUT THAT DIDN'T STOP THE GIRLS AND I. WE WERE OUT IN THE BLAZING HEAT ALL WEEK AND LOVED IT. BECAUSE I WAS HALFWAY THROUGH MY PREGNANCY, I DIDN'T GET TO CLIFF JUMP, WATER SKI, OR ANY OF THE ADVENTUROUS THINGS, BUT IT GAVE ME A GOOD EXCUSE TO JUST PLAY WITH THE GIRLS ALL DAY LONG. WE HAD ICE CREAM CONES EVERY NIGHT AT THE LITTLE STORE, STAYED UP LATE PLAYING DON'T EAT PETE, COOKING A BAKED POTATO BAR/DINNER FOR 130 PEOPLE AND WATCHING THE LASER SHOW ON THE GRAND COULEE DAM. MY FRIEND ANNA AND I WERE BOTH PREGNANT, HAD THREE GIRLS EACH AND SLEPT IN THE SAME TENT. IT WAS AN ADVENTURE! IT IS A VACATION (IF YOU CAN CALL IT THAT) WE WON'T EVER FORGET.
