Trail West Family Camp Day 4

My FAVORITE day!  It started out with the Wrangler Breakfast.  You can either ride a horse or the red wagon to a campsite where breakfast is cooked for you usually on a campfire, but because of the burn ban, it was done on a stove.  It was my favorite breakfast of the week!  Yummy breakfast quesadilla and a Mexican omelet...sooo good!



They also would flip the French toast to you to catch on your plate.  SE tried, and of course, my athletic husband had to show off his talents catching a piece while holding Fin and then catching a piece holding the plate under his leg.



It was also a great place for some fun family pictures!




Once we got back to camp, we got swim ready and headed to the high school Young Life camp, Frontier, a few miles away.  There is a hot springs fed pool with an amazing water slide that both Sean Edward and Finley loved!  Again didn't get pictures until the ride home of two sleeping babes, but by that you can tell how much fun they had!

Those are puffs stuck on Fin's chin!
That afternoon, SE and Fin went to kids' club, and Sean and I got to try out the ropes course.  The ropes course was probably my favorite activity we did at camp.  There was a rock climbing wall, the actual ropes course and a zip line.  Sean and I got harnessed up and ready to rock!  Little fact about Sean, he is scared of heights.  So once we climbed our way up to the start, reality set in for him, and he was a little hesitant to begin.  Don't worry, I kindly encouraged him and didn't make fun of him one bit (yeah right)!




Once we got to the tower to wait on the zip line, the girl inside said that (1) we were the most fun family of the day and (2) that was the first time she had ever heard a wife encourage the husband.  Ah sweet Sean!

Then it was zip line time.  I didn't realize that you could sit down because you are harnessed and attached to the zip line so I held my entire body weight in my arms the entire way down before I started falling and noticed that I wasn't really falling.  Again, the zip line helper commented he had never seen anyone do that before.  Awesome!




That evening we had a cookout in the Aspen grove and then a square dance followed by a major dance party on the basketball courts.  SE and Fin joined the fun and busted out some rad moves!



SE thought the music was too loud so he used tennis balls as ear plugs!
The dads and Romney performing to Tonto!

Family pic to end the evening...Fin was exhausted!

And all of that combined was why Thursday day 4 of family camp was my absolute favorite!  So many fun memories from that day, so much amazing family time, sweet moments stolen with my husband, the sheer joyous laughter of SE and Fin flying down the water slide, and the crazy dancing to end the evening.  I'm channeling my inner-Repunzal from Tangled...BEST DAY EVER!!
