Here is Cedar the first evening we were at Family Camp. We were accepted into a YMCA family camp this past September for a weekend. It was so much fun for all of us. We did archery, rock climbing and kayaking. We had a carrot race the first night that Aspen still goes on and on about. You get to decorate and name a carrot as a family and then send it down the zip line in the mess hall. Cedar named our carrot Happy Girl. Thanks to our 
smart leader Michael who picked the largest and heaviest carrot we won. The next morning we dropped the kids off at a kids play group and went to do the Odyssey Challenge course. We did this challenge with six other people. I could not have picked better people to do this with and they were all strangers. This is a team building activity. You have to communicate well and depend on everyone or you are stuck. We climbed up the rope ladder to the top and believe me you d
o not want to be stuck. I was so proud at the end. We did so well and had so much fun. After that we got the kids and did some crafting and swimming. We came back to the Odyssey area before dinner with the kids and they got to do the big swing and the Alpine Tower. Cedar loved it all but Aspen was a little scared on the big swing. He says now that it was fun and he wants to do it again. We always had dinner family style so we made a lot of new friends and the kids got to s
et the table and clean up. Cedar wants to go for summer camp but I am a little scared to let her go. On the last day we got to go kayaking and we saw tons of turtles and Aspen loved this piece of coral that looked like a brain. All in all it was a great weekend and I am so glad we got to go as a family. I can not wait until next year.
