Our local YMCA teams up with our school district for the character champion program. Both Carter and Ava were nominated as student of the month by the teacher, so we were invited to go visit the YMCA camp for a day. There were so many fun activities for the kids to try out. Dawson was a little upset because he wasn't allowed to do the zip line (you have to be ten years old or 65 pounds.) Carter was big enough to give it a try, but he didn't want to.
Roping a steer is harder than it looks! But somehow Dawson was able to do it on the first try, believe it or not.
Carter was able to try archery using a compound bow.
All the kids really enjoyed using the BB guns.
The cicadas at the camp were very thick. Ava adored these little creatures, and Mike was running around catching them for her. At one point in the day she was carrying around three of them as her little pets!
We also took out two canoes and took a ride on a pontoon boat.
It was such a fun day, and I'm so happy that Mike could take the day and spend it with us. It also helped me out a lot, because there were some HILLS!!!! at this camp.
