Ikea and Camp

Well, today is suppose to be a productive day.  I get to sit at home until our IKEA furniture is delivered.  This could take all day, but I'm not trying to think about being trapped in my own home all day long.  Rather, I am going to take this opportunity to work vigorously on my Girl's Camp stuff (and to also look at/write blogs).

I wish I could say I was making all my girls personalized, hand-stamped stationary or some cute little hand-out that has a die-cut shape of the temple on it, but I am not the cool of a leader.  

Besides, I think the girls will have fun just the same, with or without fancy hand-outs.  

I already have one idea for a devotional, I'm just stumped on a second idea. 

Should I talk about modesty? or entertainment?

Or should I remind them of the importance of writing in their journal?

Maybe remind them of the importance of living an honest life?

I feel like I do this with my Primary class as well. Like I need to tell them EVERYTHING I can so they are prepared for the yucky stuff that goes on out there.  

I'm getting excited for Girl's Camp.  I had some pretty great memories growing up.  I hope my girls will have just as much fun.

The Hamptons, Dahling!

I made a trip last weekend with my friends to perform at The Jewish Center for the Hamptons out on Long Island, specifically the East Hamptons. It's about 3 hours from Midtown Manhattan.
My friend, Adam, choreographed an evening of dance in the most beautiful synagogue. The JCH put us up in a neat, old house a cross the way from the synagogue Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of where we performed, but I did get some of the surrounding neighborhood. We had about 4 hours to go explore and walk around the area.



This is the house where we stayed


This was gorgeous inn down the street and a cute house with beautiful Hydrangeas in the yard.


Let's explore....Amelia and I went to the beach. So beautiful!


We had a room with 4 beds in it! It felt like a slumber party!
Adam entertained us with movie reenactments! And then we went
out for drinks and Pelligrino at this downtown restaurant.
