Y Guides Spring Campout

The first weekend in May was another Y Guides camp out for Ben, Annabel, and Daniel! Only one night was offered this time for the camp out, but they were happy enough with that and all wanted to go. It was still a night out camping together and they were looking forward to it! Annabel was delighted that Aggie's family was going, too. It's always nice to have friends along.

They got very lucky with the weather. It was literally supposed to rain and storm all day all weekend...but they just had a quick downpour of rain after dinner, and were otherwise totally fine. (The same applied for me here back at home- I had a quick storm just before dinner and then another quick one after...mind you, a tornado warning was possible for me, but it never came- I just made sure to come home after my workshop that day instead of running more errands.)

Anyway, because the weather was nice enough to hold off until nighttime, they were able to do many activities during the day. A ropes course, archery, climbing wall, some whittling, and so on. It was a fun day for them. And then Sunday morning they had time to explore and even go canoeing before they headed home, too. The cabins were really nice, food was good, weather held out...it was a great weekend all around for them!

Enjoy the pictures! 

Here's the ropes course the girls did...

Archery fun!

Daniel took some time to whittle.

Climbing wall time for the girls.

I got this sweet picture in a text from Ben. :)

Cabin time while it rains...

The rain stopped and then they could do a little hiking...and they even found where the ice cream was!

My post-storm weird yellow sky back home...it was so very weird.

Sunday morning fun!

A canoe ride and a little time wandering the campgrounds. 

These lucky kids got to stop at A&W on the way home for lunch, too! They enjoyed their chance to grab root beer freezes!
