Breakaway Camp

This weekend we all headed up to Camp War Eagle for John Brown's "Breakaway" camp. Jason was speaking for the retreat and the subject was Rest... funny how our family doesn't feel all that rested :). During free time the kids spent most of the time at the pond, jumping off the trapeze, doing the blob, and twisting on the slide. We got home around 11:30 last night and went right to bed, to get up to teach Sunday school this morning, we will all be taking naps this afternoon.




Breakout sessions...

All the kids met for a gathering time...



Walking the tightrope... noone in the family got across.


Madison off the trapeze.


Elise off the trapeze - she was too short to grab it, so one kid had to hold the trapeze and another one picked her up so she could stretch out to reach it. She would never let go on the first swing, she put on a show going back and forth a few times then let go (while everyone gasped!).



Elise on the blob... they had to find a smaller student to jump her off b/c she would have gone flying.









and then there is the long wood floor hallway perfect to slide down...
