Camp Out

Our church camp out was the weekend after Reese's birthday.  The campsite was church-owned and super posh.  We had cabins with electricity and bunks (no bedding, we had to bring our own.  But still...) There was hot and cold running water, a pavilion with a kitchen (including refrigerators, sinks and a microwave, covered picnic tables, restrooms, and a large water and ice machine.

Despite the amenities, we still got to roast marshmallows and looks at the stars.  When, the next morning, we got to participate in a couple challenge courses that included a zip line.  Fun stuff!

Reese brought her art kit and that was the best idea ever.  When she wasn't running around with friends she was doing artsy things.

Getting ready for the challenge course

Liam and Reese didn't want to go- they were too busy playing in a nearby sand box.  But then Liam saw me and Will in our harness and gear and insisted he wanted to climb up there, too!

I thought he would begin and then get too freaked out by the climb, but he was a trooper!

In the end, his little limbs just weren't long enough to make it to the zip line, so they let him hang and swung him around for fun.

Then Will's turn!

And mine!

And here's our ward in front of another challenge, "The Wall". Reese is hiding behind the lady in the black and gray stripes.
