Zip Zip Zip



Alright, on to the rest of our second day at camp. After lunch we had free time, which means lots and lots of swimming! Brandon, Brett and Molly were all really excited to check out the slides, particularly the big fast yellow one! It's cool that this camp has an actual pool with slides, and then the zipline and blob are in a little man-made lake.

Molly almost losing her lunch:)

So we mostly spent our time by the pool, but then the girls decided it was time to head in and take a shower. The boys were on for the zipline at 5:00, so we thought it would be fun to grab some ice cream and go watch them. I mentioned before that this one is longer than Castaway, so I think it was a little more scary to actually let yourself go at the top from what the guys told us. Here are some pictures of Brett, Brandon, and Tom coming down:





After the boys all got done doing the zipline Brett decided that he was ready to try the blob. Tom went off first and then Brett jumped on to "blob him".
It looks like it could be a little scary to jump from the deck, but Brett did awesome. Then he got blobbed and we all got out to get ready for some dinner.

After dinner we found out that they had planned an entertainment night for us. It was hilarious and we all laughed like crazy. When we were walking out of the club room they surprised us all with hot chocolate and smores...this place rocks! After that we all headed to our cabins to hit the hay. The girls were in for a surprise though...we had a huge moth in our cabin, sick! It was flying around like crazy in our room, and everyone was having a laughing attack trying to kill it. Finally we swatted it down and Molly killed it.
I don't think I've ever heard Claire laugh so much...it was a great end to a great day! Today has been filled with alot more fun, an awesome club talk, and some GREAT cabin time! I am excited to share with you all tomorrow...until then have a great day, I know we will:)

  2. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this--it is so great--we are getting a feel for what it must be like to be there. Thanks to Nan and Tasha and Abbie and Van, and of course, Tom, for making this possible for our kids. Somebody please give Brandon a big hug for us! (We're so curious to know how he felt about that giant slide and zip line experience!) Have a great night!

  3. Molly to the rescue! She usually rids the bugs out of our house! At least everyone was laughing and not screaming!
