Date night!!!!

My cute little Laurels are just not dating!!!!! They always get all bummed when I tell them all my fun dating stories and they say no one goes out on dates anymore! So I decided they needed a blind date! I contacted another ward and had 5 of their Priests (we were minus one so last minute we had to grab a Priest from our ward too) and we went on a date! It turned out to be so much fun and after the date the girls were giddy and loving boys again! Prior to the date they "hated boys" and said they were going to move into a convent. I was so excited to see the change and it was so fun to see them on their date.


We went to a nearby park where they also allow you to camp, so that we could have a campfire to make smores. To start the night we had the girls bring an item that represented them...the items they brought were:

• a football


• a toy frog


• an ipod


• a book


• a flag


• bubbles

Then we had the boys pick a number and then that was the order they got to go up and choose an item. Then that girl was his date for the night. The pairings were PERFECT! We ate pizza and then the first thing we did is we sent them on a photo scavenger hunt. The items they had to find and take a picture of were:

• a purple flower


• a picture of a kid playing


• a picture of someone wearing the same color shirt as them


• a picture of a tree hug


• a profile picture of them and their date making a funny face


• they had to have someone take a picture of them together on the slide


• a picture of one of them on a swing


• the lake


• they had to make their initials our of nature (leaves, grass, twigs, etc.)


• an animal (squirrel, raccoon, etc.)

The rest of the night we sat around the campfire and played games. What a fun activity. Did I mention how much I love my calling?????
