Camping trip by Devyn!

This past weekend my dad, Corbin, Landon, and I went camping in North Carolina. The camping trip was through our church and it was just dads and their kids. I have never been camping before and it was really fun. On Friday we woke up and started to drive to the campground at 7:30 am. It was 5 hours away but we made a few stops on the way so we got there at 2:30. First we put up our tent and went down by the river to climb on the rocks. At 7:30 we had dinner which was pulled pork sandwiches, mac n cheese, rice, and green beans. It was really good and I was really hungry. We heard a noise in the woods and it was a bear. They scared it away with an air horn. Then at 8:30 we all sat around the camp fire and roasted marshmallows and sang worship music. After we went to sleep and I woke up 3 times because I heared the air horn. I guess that a bear tried to got in the campground.

The next day I woke up and got dressed. Then we ate breakfast and it was like an egg, bacon, and hash brown mixture underneath a biscuit. There were grits on the side that were pretty gross. We were pretty much free for the rest of the day so we went to a place called Linville Caverns. We went on a tour through the mountains and we got to see the mountains growing and what they looked like inside. It was really interesting and fun to see. We drove back to the camp ground and just hung out until dinner. Again at 7:30 we had cheeseburgers and fries. The french fries were truly AMAZING! Then we did what we did last night and listened to worship music. At night the air horn went off only once but it was early.

Sunday was our last day. For breakfast we had an omelet that we cooked in a bag. They had plastic zip lock bags that we filled with eggs, bacon, and potato. Then we cooked them in a pot. They were soooooo good! After we packed up everything and hit the road. Everyone was really hungry so we stopped at Subway and got lunch. We then drove for about an hour more only to stop at Hardees and get milkshakes. They we really good.  From then on we drove the rest of the way home. We still had about 3 more hours left. When we got home we saw my mom and I was super tired. I really like camping and would totally go back!

Fashion Camp By Devyn!

Hey everyone! On Monday I did a fashion camp! It was so much fun and I learned a lot of things. It was at Towne Center which is like this big shopping plaza with a ton of stores. Now I will list all the stores we went to and what we did and what I learned!

1 Ulta: We got mini makeovers and learned how to apply make up correctly. Then we learned about what colors of nail polish go with which season. Last but not least we learned about hair care.

2 Teal: At teal we got to dress our own manicans! That was really fun to do!

3 Francesca's: Here we got to look at different patterns and say what they were. Also we got to find different styles of clothing.

4 Burton's Grill: This is a restaurant and we ate lunch here. We learned table manners and how to act while eating out.

5 Versona Accessories: This is my new favorite store. At Versona they picked out an outfit for us to accessorize, then we accessorized what we were wearing, then we picked out our own outfit and accessories.

6 Belk: Lastly we went to Belk and talked about shoes. They gave us an event and we had to pick out the appropriate kind of shoe that we would were.

At this camp they gave me a 25 dollar gift card to Towne Center, which I already spent at Versona. They also gave me a ton of coupons and discounts. My favorite thing probably was the I heart to shop tee shirt that they also gave me. It was a lot of fun and I am definitely going to do it next year!
