The Best of the Brown's. Wednesday, April 25, 2012. HEBER VALLEY GIRLS CAMP MISSION. Here we are all loaded up and ready to go! We pulled out in a light rain. Here we are set up in "Cowboy Village". It at the Heber Valley Rodeo Grounds. Kinda muddy, not fancy, but, hey, we're on a mission. There are about 60 other couples staying here in RV's. Yep, Grandpa Steve does do work, already. He worked with some of the other Elders and helped move canoes and paddleboats. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The Best of the Brown's. Sunday, June 9, 2013. What It's All About! What we have been waiting for . . . .the girls! This was our first week to have our long awaited girls in camp. And, come they did. At 9:00 am, the buses and vehicles stretched down the mountain. . 2500 girls and leaders for the week. Getting the girls checked in took a whole crew of missionaries. . . but they did it! Each group is about 120 girls, and we do about 5 groups a day. Here are some shots of the girls in action! Me and My Flag!

The Best of the Brown's: Winter in September!
http://grampsmission.blogspot.com/2013/11/winter-in-september.html
The Best of the Brown's. Tuesday, November 26, 2013. The weather on the mountain this year was so different from our previous summer. From the first of August we did not have a single week without a rain storm or some disturbance. But, we awoke one morning in September and were surprised with a world of white awaiting us. It just ended being Summer- now Winter? Even the deer were a little bewildered by the blanket of white covering everything. Well, this just gave us an early preview of what is to come.

The Best of the Brown's: Talent? Show!
http://grampsmission.blogspot.com/2013/11/talent-show.html
The Best of the Brown's. Sunday, November 24, 2013. One of the highlights of the camp season is the annual Camp Talent Show. It is the climax of all the activities held on the mountain. Each of the teams come up with a presentation, everything from the sublime to the ridiculous. Imagination and creativity are superb. The Lake team led off the evening with our version of synchronized swimming. Here are a few pics of our team. Aren't we cute. Steve looks ready to go, goggles and all. My Grandson, John.

The Best of the Brown's. Friday, May 25, 2012. Not Always Sunny at Heber Valley Camp! The sun doesn't always shine up here on the mountain. We woke to snow on the ground on May 24th. Our little ATV's had to be wiped off and dried before we headed down to the Lake. Here we are today on the Lake. It was raining, snowing, sleeting, and the wind was blowing. But we had a family that were crazy enough to want to be out on the lake. So we had to be there to rescue them if there was a problem. Look, Grandpa is ...

The Best of the Brown's. Friday, October 4, 2013. Families on the Mountain! Friday afternoons on the mountain saw a transformation take place. The girls would board their busses; some sleepy, some with tears in their eyes, and some with shouts of joy as they head home to soft, comfy beds, and long, luxurious showers. We would wave goodbye to them often with tears in our eyes. The families were soon lined up at the dock, ready for their water adventure- to go on a canoe or paddle boat. One of the main pur...

The Best of the Brown's: And Family Came!
http://grampsmission.blogspot.com/2013/11/and-family-came.html
The Best of the Brown's. Sunday, November 24, 2013. Church is held in an outdoor pavilion without walls, windows, or doors. So bundling up in a blanket is just what you do. After sacrament meeting, we changed clothes, had a few minutes to catch Grandpa with his newest grandson, Jacob. We are so glad we came. IT was the highlight of the trip for me and my kiddos. We love visiting our missionary grandparents! November 25, 2013 at 8:42 AM. December 3, 2013 at 12:20 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Best of the Brown's: Happy Trails to You . . .
http://grampsmission.blogspot.com/2013/11/happy-trails-to-you.html
The Best of the Brown's. Sunday, November 24, 2013. Happy Trails to You . . . I always thought when you serve a mission for the Lord will protect you from harm or accident and that time spent on the mission would be pleasant and free from trials. I learned that that is not so. Perhaps I learned that trials still come but the ability to bear them is greatly increased. Many of the missionaries had great physical and emotional trials while here at Heber Valley Camp. I kept getting a prompting, "gather all t...

The Best of the Brown's. Sunday, May 26, 2013. IT'S MAY 19TH AND IT IS SNOWING! What a surprise to wake up early on Sunday morning, put up the window shades and the world outside is white, and the snow is falling! It was beautiful, but so discouraging to see our cold weather go on and on. Even our bird houses had a few inches of snow on top. I had to clean the snow off the hummingbird feeders so they could get their food. How could we have ever doubted it! Friday, May 17, 2013. As part of our training, w...

The Best of the Brown's: February 2012
http://grampsmission.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
The Best of the Brown's. Monday, February 6, 2012. We arrived at Disney World with our mouths hanging open in astonishment! It was so huge. We drove it seemed like miles just between one area and the next. Our hotel was Disney Pop Century. It was perfect for us, because everywhere we went there were things reminding us of the times we grew up in. The music that played everywhere was "our" music. Now here are two happy monkeys. Notice the big smile on the one on the right. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
