TEN Years Later

Ten years ago, next month, my life changed for the better. I was 15, too skinny, akward, bad hair, not sure who I was, and these girls loved me anyway! Scout Camp is a very accepting place. 
Ten years later, and we're still friends. Of course! You don't realize how many stupid things we did together! Bonded for life, that's what we are. And we got together this weekend.
And we ate. A lot. We're older, possibly weirder, in different stages of life, and we're still friends. I love these girls. This is definitely the absolute most normal photo of us ever taken. 
So sad for those gals that couldn't come. Hope to see you at the next girls day! Which there definitely will be!

Fabulous post Jaynie-bean! I love all my camp girls so much and hope that more of them can come next time. But i was wondering what we did that was stupid? Skinny dipping at a Boy Scout Camp? Smart. Cutting raw meat on the floor? Smart. Taking pictures in the two-seater? Smart. Showering in an open-air shower in the middle of a boy scout camp with little pervs peaking under? Smart. Walking through moose/bear/mountain lion infested woods by ourselves? Smart! Keeping our tepee's full of food and other smelling things in Situation One Grizzly country? Smart. Stirring those bugs right into the soup? Super smart. Screaming at a boy that asks for another hamburger? Smart (should of hit him too). Sleeping in the dining hall or commissary with all the mice? Smart. Trying to kill said mice with a #10 can? Smart. Not noticing all the syrup that leaked under the stove creating a torturous, deathtrap for mice. Genius. Swimming in a lake that still had ice in it? Smart. Having a huge crush on a blue-eyed man that goes by the name of Genghis? Way smart (year before you were there). The list goes on and on my dear :-)
