Hollywood!!!

Jenny, Abby, Gadiel and Jazzy left one Thursday morning...and I'm not totally clear on what they did until Monday:) First they drove to LA, got some new tires!, made it to the hotel and went swimming. The next day, they spent at Huntington Beach- but Jenny forgot the camera:) Saturday- Universal Studios, Minion ride, Rainforest Cafe, made some cars, took a bus tour of Hollywood and went to the Hollywood sign, of course. Took another day to drive home:) Somewhere along the way, they went to fireworks and water show, as well as a "pet performance show". That's all I could get! At one of the shows....

Pirates came home....

I picked Jasmine up with the same shirt on as when I dropped her off!!! It was covered with dirt and food,- plus, she didn't smell all that great!! She said she took a shower, but when she got home and had a bath...her skin was two shades lighter. All of the clothes in her suitcase were still folded exactly as I had placed them:) Uggh....

Pirates last day.....

Last day at camp and she still has the same shirt on!!!!

Pirates in Prescott.....

This is a photo I found on the Willow Springs camp blog:) It must have been the first night before it rained non-stop all day on the first day. I guess they were just being pirates indoors for awhile. Today the weather was great in Prescott. I don't know why Jasmine has her PJ bottoms on when she has other pants in her suitcase:)

Neverland Pirate Camp ...:)

We're off today for another camp- this time very short- only 3 days at Willow Springs in Prescott, AZ. It's only 3 days because of the July 4th holiday, So first Jasmine tells me that she wants me to be the "bus mom", but when I am there- she constantly gives me dirty looks and won't even say goodbye. So... I'm definitely not doing it again if we go to one more camp in a couple of weeks. Here she is "helping me".. sort of...get name tags on all of the luggage. Jasmine getting off the bus at Willow Springs. Jasmine talking with a little girl who was in their cabin last year at Shadow Rim Ranch. (I remember her because she has the same pink hair as last year:( At least there were only 38 girls on the bus this time instead of 51,...plus the DVD player on the bus actually worked this time. It always helps to show a movie which kills a good 1 1/2 hours. We watched.."Judy Moody- summer camp".. or something like that. I got it at the grocery store for this special occasion. I did have a little run in with a couple of smart elec 13 yr old girls who wouldn't move out of my seat. I told them to get their butts out of my seat right now or I will physically pick them up and toss them out. They moved right behind me and kicked my seat for the entire 3 hour ride.. ugghhh....

Choir Camp....Showtime 2015!

This week was spent at Chandler Children's Choir Camp where they prepared and rehearsed daily an original musical- Showtime 2015- (written by one of the moms). I volunteered on the last day to help serve lunch- pizza and watermelon:) so I did get an attempt at a few photos and videos. Jasmine purposely stays on the other side of the room, turns her head away and back to me every time I try to take a photo or video. I did catch her a couple of times on stage though. Eating lunch with friends: Onstage:

Home from Horse Camp today!

Three hour ride up, three hour ride back. Exhausting! All the Frontier Girls at Horse Camp. Jasmine said she was very cold! The schedule for each day...barn lessons, science project (OMG - not again!!). They had to build a tee pee with some sticks and rubber bands. That's not too bad:) Water fight, dances at night, archery, banquet, cook outs. One night they were supposed to "sleep out", but it rained (supposedly). I'm not sure if I really believe that! Badges from this week and previous years:) This is Jasmine after about 10 seconds in the car until I woke her up to get out of the car:))
