Family Camp = Family Fun!

The anticipation has been building all summer for our first annual trip to Trout Lake Family Camp. We just returned from several days of fun and excitement. Trout Lake did not disappoint. Who could ask for more than family worship, rock climbing, zip line, archery, swimming, flying squirrel, rockets, leap of faith, carnival, sharking, black light dodge-ball, and the list goes on.... Family camp was awesome.

Here is a peak into the last few days of awesome. I should warn you in advance. It was very hard to narrow the pictures to a few favorites from a couple hundred. There were just to many things to be able to include them all, but here is a few highlights.

Rocket Building...












 Rocket Launching....





LOVE THIS PART .... Is this right up our alley or what?!
 And the overall winner, with a launch of about 100 yards is..... Jacob!

And this was just some of the fun. We also had archery,

zip line,
Chris is 2nd from the right.

Loves it!












and flying squirrel, which involves 9 people in a harness.
8 are hooked up as the "horses" running in 1 direction 
9th person runs in the opposite direction.
 
the effect is the single person is lifted 40 feet in the air, an adrenaline rush, and lots of giggles!

 Chris really liked this one!
Leap of faith is a climb to the top of a 20 foot pole, balance on top and jump to the bar. Much harder than it looks, but lots of fun! This is a favorite of mine. I am pretty sure Chris enjoyed it as well.
Ready, Set

Jump!

The kids had plenty to do as well. Family rock climb which is a big hit with Noah and Jacob!
 



Water Sports
Our guys are the first couple on the left (their left). Great friends are the first couple on the right. This equals fun!
Tango!
We left feeling closer to God, to each other, and yep a little sore. All in all it was totally awesome and we cannot wait to return!


Of course it would not be a family photo without some silly faces!
