Climbing Wall

For a post on the last time we enjoyed Camp Seymour's climbing wall, click HERE.  Back then, I was two months away from Daniel's birth and Fiona was not quite two.

This time, Fiona got partway up the wall and Daniel worked on his patience....
 ....so he could have a turn as well.  Bless his heart, all he wanted to do was swing around on the rope.

 Shane and Evie made it to the top in about two minutes...
"Look out at the water; it's the best view in camp!"


And then Evie lost a shoe on her way down...
Ian was with us, but he works as a volunteer helping keep kids in line and getting helmets on.  Wait, that's what I did.  Ian hung out with his friends and talked about video games.  But he did also keep an eye on kids who were bouldering on the back wall (no harnesses needed).  I taught a bunch of little homeschoolers how to stand in line and wait their turn.  If they weren't in line, they didn't climb.  I'm super thankful that none of the kids fell out of their harnesses because I have never put them on a child before.

In other news, we've added a few ducks to our flock...
They are muscovy ducks and should produce some tasty meat next spring.  Heidi cut her third tooth by banging it on her crib rail.  Mark joined me in a Whole30 challenge; I'm on Day 19 and he is on Day 1.  And we are still waiting for Ami's baby...due Sunday!
