We got some swinging time in Monday morning!

In the afternoon, we had free time. James and I signed up for the ‘Superman Swing’ at the ropes course. (You had to be over age 12.) I volunteered to go first, (little known fact: I am an adrenaline junkie but have not had many chances since becoming a mom!)
 |
| all harnessed up-NOT COMFORTABLE! |
 |
| posing like Superman before the freefall! 😉 |
To explain how this ‘swing’ works, I will have to show you the picture I took of James because I got a good angle of how high up they put you. (Estimation about 35 feet high)

 |
| Here I am free falling! |
 |
| I’m swinging in the trees free as a bird! |

 |
| James swinging in the trees…I wonder why his arms aren’t spread out free as a bird… |
 |
| Looks like he’s having fun, but you can see he’s holding something… |
Here he is being taken down and you can only imagine how much pain he is in because of the tight harness! And I thought I was uncomfortable…poor guy!
Monday night was a theme night and our theme that night was “Great Scot!” and we were supposed to wear lots of plaid. Warning: this next picture goes against every grain in my well-being.
 |
| We were supposed to mix and match and clash-the sillier
the better! This is the best I could do. |
I know I have officially engrained Rilyn with my OCD in fashion because when I took out the red, white, and blue dress for her to wear she stared at it for awhile and then said, “Is it still July? Oh, ok, I guess I can wear this dress. But NOT in August, ok, mom?” 😉
Monday night we played games in the field that were supposed to be “Scottish”!
 |
| we had war paint because we were in teams |
The pretty girl behind Ella is “Spirit Fingers”. She was our assigned counselor this past week and took care of my girls and loved on us! She is super sweet!

| James participated in the dad tug of war. He was the anchor, but unfortunately wore
flip flops. So as you can guess, they didn’t win. |
