Through the Telescope

We had such a fun time I just had to post a little more about it.  A few things I want to remember about this day....

•Eric showing up as Pirate Captain--accent, eyeliner and all

•Awesome treasure!

•The clues at the top of the climbing wall

•Nick and Johnny hiding the treasure sooooo deep!

•All 25 of us in the huge war canoe

•Roasting hot dogs over the fire--for starving kids

•The kids reading the clues in "pirate talk"

•The friendly kayers ferrying the little kids across the river on their boats

•Forgetting about the kids for ten minutes--only to realize they'd all crossed the river on their own (sorry mom, true) looking for clues. Thank heaven for life jackets!

•Johnny's crack

•Eric wading in the algae pit of snakes

•The kids freaking out digging for the treasure--muddy, muddy kids

•Half the kids diving overboard to retrieve the message in the bottle

•Kids sword fighting along the way

•Johnny "flying" Camille and Caroline full speed along the trail (speeding things up!)

•My horrible slippery shoes

•The Pirate Captain turned Seaweed Freak of the Deep

•Natalie upset that I ripped her shirt to shreds to use as my costume

•Singing camp songs as we paddled

•Darling Pirate cake (that Mitchell didn't realize was for him too!)

•Nick looking pretty buff (& hot!) steering the canoe 

•Realizing I don't have to do another one of these for a long, long time!
