The Great Outdoors

Several weeks ago we signed up for a camping trip with the local YMCA. We drove out to Camp Pa-Wa-Pi on Friday night only to experience an UNUSUALLY cold late summer night (low predicted to be 39 degrees). Even with the cold, we had a lot of fun.

We started out with a hike through the woods. We took a break here to work on the low ropes:


Next week moved on to the rope swing. Max was a natural, and Jordan was so happy to do it all by herself!


After that, we cooked hot dogs and s'mores over the campfire then settled in for a rest--the ground was hard, but the kids didn't care. In the morning we had campfire sausage and scrambled eggs.

We ended the morning with archery and rock climbing. The fresh air did us all good, although I appreciated my bed on Saturday night.
