August 14th weekend. Another try at Summer Camp.

This weekend I was a little more careful bout getting all excited about Larissa's Summer Camp.  Just as I found out a week earlier, so much can change so fast...

Our first Saturday stop was at LOWE'S, where we registered a while back for a kid's build.  We made Bug Boxes and got free Wendy's frosty coupon, which we redeemed right after.

We then re-packed all the camping supplies and re-double-checked Larissa had everything she will need.  Everyone seemed a little less excited about accompanying her to the campgrounds, so I just took Jon along.

When we checked in Larissa was happy to find out that her best friend Emily from last summer was in the same session.  I hope they pick up from where they left off last year!

Jon enjoyed playing catch with one of the camp counselors while waiting for our check-in to be completed.  He even agreed that he would like to stay for the week, when I jokingly asked him if he was interested...

On Sunday we got to go to Bullwinkle's park, courtesy of our work.  It was predicted to be a hot day, so it was nice to start off earlier in a day and be done before it got too hot.  We enjoyed everything we tried, and even the food was great.

I have to admit that I found out that I am a big chicken....  Miranda, Gabe and I decided to try a rope walking obstacle course, and after the first leg, Gabe and I bailed out...  Miranda finished it and Gabe decided to try again with Dad and Jon.

Jon didn't hesitate for a moment.  He took his time and he was actually a couple of inches shorter than a minimum required height, but kept going and finished the whole thing!  He couldn't even reach any of the support ropes to help keeping his balance...  wow, he sure showed me!
