One of the reasons Brayden and John had such a great time this year is that they got an extra night on everyone else. John was able to pull some strings and spend the night early. It probably won't be a repeat event as it was a little "unfair", but they took advantage this year. Dave and Logan were also able to attend - and the group of four had a super time hanging together before the rest of the crowds arrived.
While many of the guys took their turn at paint ball, fishing, swimming in the lake, mud-bathing, or pistol shooting - John and Brayden spent a chunk of time in the trees - on the high ropes and on the giant swing. Within the last couple of months, Brayden has come a long way in overcoming an initial fear of heights - perhaps, based on these pictures, I should replace "long" with "high" when evaluating the distance he's overcome!
Michael and Traig enjoyed a little game time, and then, later (in place of listening to a speaker, tsk, tsk) the four of them took a hike to a waterfall together. Hooray for family bonding!
Obviously, my accounts of this incredible weekend were all second hand - but based on all of the beautiful pictures, I couldn't help but put up a descriptive post as all of this HAS to make the blog book at the end of the year. Way to go, guys!!!!
