Utah Trip Day 5-7

On Monday we drove up to Heber Valley Camp. This is where we had our Christensen family reunion. Everyone was able to make it except Dave. We had so much fun there. We went canoeing, played volleyball, did some challenge courses, played tons of games (the favorites were Minute to Win it and Werewolves), ate and visited. The kids had a blast with their cousins.

These are the cabins we stayed in

The kids loved starting fires

Cindy did a treasure hunt and the kids are all gathered around the treasure they just found

Minute to Win it game. You had to pick up the paper bags with your mouth without any part of your body but your feet touching the ground.

Katie couldn't quite do it. She kept putting her hands on the ground.

For one of the Minute to Win it games we used 4 pedometers and the kids would run as fast as they could to see who could get the most steps in 1 minute. Mason was the grand winner.

Another Minute to Win it game. You had a bounce a ping pong on the table and try and get it to land in the cup that was floating in a bowl of water.

In this Minute to Win it game, you had to blow up the balloon and then try and blow the cups over with the air in the balloon.

Challenge course-you had to get your whole group through the web without touching the rope.

Challenge course-you had to climb up the telephone poll, slide across the tight rope and then go down the zip line. Katie was so funny when she was doing this. She kept saying "I don't want to do this, I don't want to do this," but she just kept doing it and never stopped.

Sliding across the tight rope. It was about 30 feet in the air.

Garret on the rope swing. He didn't want to go very high so we just pushed him like he was on a playground swing. The rest of us were pulled really high by a bunch of our group pulling our rope. Then when we got to the tree, we let go and flew.

Challenge course-we had to figure out how to get out into the middle of this circle to get some water without touching the ground.

Challenge course-there were 2 wires attached to 2 trees. The wires kept getting further and further apart and you had to lean on your partner and try and keep from falling off the wires. This is Tanner and Cayden.
