Labor Day Fun

We recently attended Cascades Camp's Labor Day Family Camp. We had a good time relaxing and having fun. The camp had great food and lots of activities. They had a guest speaker but after the first night, we decided to skip out on the rest of the sessions and just do family stuff!

We took a trail ride together. This was Emma's favorite part! Especially since she got to ride her favorite horse from camp, Maverick! 


Emma learned to paddleboard! She did great! 


Next time we decided we need to do this in Hawaii! 


Robert and Emma took a canoe ride during a couple of the morning sessions. The lake was very quiet and peaceful. 


Emma had some "down" time contemplating life. :-) 


She was brave and decided to climb to the top of this and jump off!  


Then her bravery led her to this... 


A 700' long zipline that was over 150' up at some points! (More on this later)
There were two 700' lines. One down and then another one back! 


We all did it once then Robert and Emma ended up doing it 3 times total while I took pictures! It was so much fun we were all hooked! 




Saturday night there was a carnival. Emma got a jump start and got her carnival face on! 


One of the many games at the carnival - Musical Chairs. Nothing like being outed by your father! 


It was a relaxing weekend with some new found fun!

Safety Day

Our family assisted with the fire department for it's annual Fire Prevention Week Safety Day. It was a day filled with popcorn, hot dogs and fun activities! Emma made many, many bags of popcorn for the kids... After all her hard work, she had a little fun with dad... Then she got to demonstrate some rescue equipment... It was a good day watching all the kids visit Sparky, rotate the various stations and enjoy the yummy popcorn Emma made!

Sammy

Sammy April 15, 1998 - February 20, 2014 Sammy was quite the cat. He was the king of the house for sure. Mac the 67 lb Boxer was afraid of him. He knew how to get what he wanted. He was a butter eating crazy cat. He lived a good life with lots of changes. From a cross country move to the arrival of a new man (Robert) to the birth of a child (Emma) to the adoption of a four legged brother (Mac). Yet through it all he knew he was king. I miss him lots but am happy for the time we had together.

Day 4 - Blast Off Camp

Today at camp Emma got to tour the brand new planetarium at the museum. She said it was pretty cool. Then they had lunch and made a map after lunch. And that was about it! Though I think there was more that they did, she just can't remember! But it does make me thankful that I homeschool because I know what she does all day! She did say that she wishes she could go for another week! Well that's good! I guess she doesn't miss us too much!
