Wednesday

Wednesday was the last full day of camp, and the one that I can remember the least of. In the morning we retrieved our buckets of food from the trailer. Third years had music first so I got to practice the ukelele a little more.After that we had crafts. I'm not very good at crafts. Sister Means gave us a little square of the fabric of our choice and gave a brief lecture on how to make flower headbands. At first I was doing great, but as soon as we started sewing I fell behind. I kept redoing my stitches, because they weren't perfect. I didn't even finish one headband when other people at my table finished three or four. It was really sad for me. When that dreaded hour was over we got to go to the archery range.

My TWO bullseyes!!!

Again my first two shots were bull's eyes and the rest of my shots were also pretty good. Lunch was right after and it was, as always delicious. After lunch was the award ceremony. My ward got best attitude, and I was the one that got to go up and receive it. Then they did personal awards and I got a little wooden star that stated that I held the highest score in archery for that year, and I'm sure every year to follow. Later we had the Music presentation.Each year of campers played or danced to their own song. Half of my year, including me, played the ukelele and the other half danced a hula to our playing. It just happened to be awesome! Between performances we could hear yelling. That is when the leaders started to get nervous. The bear was back! The Fish and Game department had come early that morning and left traps for the bear right in the middle of the camp. Luckily nobody started to panic this time. We just continued the program. The slideshow was also that night so we got to watch the thirty minute show. After that priesthood escorted us back to our cabin and everybody went to sleep. The next morning we heard that the priesthood had gone on a bear hunt. President Anderson had come within 100 yards of the bear and

snapped a few pictures. Everybody thought that the bear trap would be all full of bear Thursday morning, but it was quite the opposite. The bear had crawled into the trap and ate the food without springing it. I don't know about the others but by now I had gained some respect for this bear. We were out of camp at about eight thirty in the morning and I was really sad to leave. I think that I am about ready for next year
