Daddy-Daughter Western Jamboree

I have the privelege of being a Faith In God co-leader with a Kristin Johnson in our ward (that was a mouth full, sorry).  I love this calling!  I love working with Kristin and I have enjoyed being with the girls. 

We had a Daddy-Daughter Western Jamboree Night to recognize the girls and their progress and accomplishments since they started this program.  We had a GREAT night!  Kristin did all the decorations with some fun center pieces, country table clothes and pie tins to eat out off.  We had pulled pork sandwiches, corn, bbq beans, coleslaw, potato chips and for desert we had apple pie with ice cream.  Everything was super tasty!


We made a jail and had the Dads and Daughters take pictures in it.  I love this picture of Brother Campbell and his girls, Clara and Olivia.  He looks like he is pretty sad to be there ;)


It was really fun to see so many people dressed up in their Cowboy Garb.  I was shocked to see Dave also participate, I guess he will do whatever to make Miss Leah happy, and she was!


We played games that included three legged races, 
or a four-legged race if you are in the Campbell Klan :), 

Potato jog where they had to "jog" with a potato in between their legs and run, it was comical, 

and a wheelbarrow race.  At the end of each game or race they had to yell "YeHAAAA!" 

It was really fun to hear and watch all of the dads and daughter have such an enjoyable time.  However, the real reason for this fun night was to recognize the girls in their efforts in the Faith In God Program.  Kristin made charm bracelets for the ALL the girls.  Each charm represented a goal the girls had accomplished or article of faith they had passed off.  Kristin out did herself and the girls LOVED the bracelets.  I love having her as my co-leader, she makes us look good :) THX Kristin!


We had SO much help from parents with food.  We also had two angels that helped us out that night with cleaning ALL the kitchen stuff while we played games, took pictures or presented the girls with their 'awards'.... Thank you Rashawn and Sarah!!!!!

Zeke and Adelaide had a wonderful time and Adelaide loves her bracelet. She can't wait to earn more things to put on it.

What should we do with the photos? email them out? I kind of forgot about them, but I'm sure the girls would love to have them.
