Here are our fabulous t-shirts, courtesy of Savannah.
The first evening we had "A Minute to Win It" game put on by Wendy. The teams had adults and children and the games were fun-- cup stacking, transporting cotton balls on your nose (held on by vasoline.) Bubblegum blowing, shooting empty cans with rubber bands, bouncing ping pong balls into containers.
We hiked Lava canyon. When Mt. St. Helen erupted 2000 years ago, there was a lava flow here. Then it got covered with trees. Then, with the recent eruption, a mud flow went down the same path. We saw where the trees were all new growth. A river etched through the lava and the rock flow.
The kids had a great fun climbing up lava flows. I had a heart attack. At the edge of this flow is a drop off into the river far below.
This picture was taken from the swinging suspension bridge we crossed. It was high across the river and it did SWING. I waited until everyone went across. Then I crossed in relative stability.
In the afternoon we practiced some singing. It was a cute song about a monotone angel who wanted to sing in the Christmas choir.
In the evening, we watched a short slide show of the history of Mom. Then she answered questions that people wrote out for her-- where did you meet Walt? What did you do as a child? Why did you decide to become a nurse?
We all gathered in the upper lodge for this activity. And, of course, we had some time for giggles and fun after dinner and before the activity.
