DeCosta Family Reunion
So after the Jordan’s wedding Bryce and I flew back to Oahu to get ready for another family gathering, DeCosta family reunion on Kauai. Momma G flew over too. The three of us went to Kauai for the reunion weekend, but we also got to do some sightseeing as well since Momma G had never explored Kauai that much. We stopped at some local favorites and even played tourist, driving up Waimea Canyon. Kauai is a beautiful island, it is my favorite of the Hawaiian Islands.
The weekend went by too fast, but we were able to spend time with Uncle Cucu, my grandpa’s brother, the only living sibling. Uncle Cucu doesn’t get to Oahu too much, so he insists we come back to Kauai to visit him since we live so close.

The sunset on the west side of Kauai was magnificent.
Girl’s Camp 2013
The next big thing that happened this summer was young women’s camp. As the president, it was kinda imperative that I was present at girl’s camp, and as much as I do not like camping, I’m so grateful that we got to spend a week just us girls. Our theme this year was “Girl on Fire,” as in Hunger Games Katniss Everdeen. The girls loved it. We had crafts and skits, and camp food galore. Of course the leaders and I also had a great time also. I’m so grateful for my calling as a youth leader, the girls inspire me constantly and I love them all. I secretly wish we could rewind and go back to girls camp so I can keep them all safe in our little camp ground and not let the evil of the world consume their young spirits. We made some great memories though, and I hope and pray that they will look back on our camp time with fondness one day.

So Long Summer 2013!!
I think it was a terrific summer spent with both family and friends. Summer is over now though. Bryce is back to his online classes and I am back to teaching. It feels good to be back to work after not working all summer and I breathe a sigh of relief now because I feel at ease with how I was able to spend my summer 2013.
Things to look forward to:
3 year anniversary
Thanksgiving
CHRISTMAS!!!
