Family Camp 2010

These pics are a little late . . . but last week we returned from an extended weekend of our church's Family Camp. J & K LOVED it, once again! Tyler had some "rough" nights (translation . . . several 3am walks through the camp -- thank you, bryan!) but overall we had a great time! If you ask J or K what their highlight was . . . definitely doing the zip line!

The first afternoon the kids spotted other young kids giving it a try, and begged the entire next day . . . so we gave it a whirl! Joshua climbed up himself, and Kayla enjoyed being hoisted by the rope staff!

Here are the four of us (Tyler was getting some much-needed zzzz's at the time) waiting for last minute instructions. The kids started to freak out towards the end (who can blame them . . . notice that Bryan and I are holding onto the pole VERY SECURELY!) but they came through in the end. The only hitch . . . they forgot to "untether" me from the cable . . . so after I worked up the nerve to JUMP when they said to . . . I went about 4 inches. A great "bonding" time with the kids!

Tyler's just wishing he was a bit taller for this foosball table!

Boys and water . . . what can you say????

It was a bit warm there, but we tried to make the best of the outdoor games . . .but it was HOT!


This was our first year to do anything at the water front -- and Joshua wanted to give this huge slide a try -- it's pretty steep! He did great!

The pool was of course a favorite! Both J and K have turned into little fish this summer!

I'm thinking that this landing was a little hard on the belly. . .

And this would be Tyler's very favorite way to enjoy the water . . . not being in it! We're hoping things change a bit before next summer . . . he did NOT enjoy it at all!

And of course hitting the canteen is a favorite!
