Wayne and Nathan went on a father/son camp out with The Adventure Guides at Sky Ranch camp. They left Friday right after school and got back Sunday morning. This is the third camp out they've gone on and I think the best one so far. Wayne said that Nathan was very brave and adventurous and tried all of the activities including a ropes course, zip line, archery, water slides, laser tag, a huge maze, and I'm sure I'm leaving out some things! Oh, they also got to watch a rodeo and then the kids got a chance to try to catch a calf and pull a ribbon off of it! Wayne said Nathan was so good the entire time and that he kept telling Wayne how much he loved him :) It was a great experience for both of them.
And here is a funny story about laser tag. Nathan's group are all the same age, and most are in first grade. The weekend that worked best for this group happened to be the weekend that all of the third grade groups were there. So these little first graders are doing everything with third grade boys. Wayne said they all got along fine but it was funny to see some differences, which brings me to laser tag. Nathan's group was on one team and a group of third graders was on the other team. They had these cool guns and vests with sensors on them and were playing on an outdoors course. When you got "shot" 15 times, you had to go back to the beginning and have your vest reset and then join the game again. So all of the dads were watching at the entrance and pretty soon, one of Nathan's friends comes to get reset. A few minutes later, here's another boy from the group, then comes Nathan. All of the first graders were getting the 15 shots because the third graders knew what they were doing! Wayne said it was so funny to see one after the other coming back to the front, but they didn't care, they had a blast. They even joined up with a group later in the night to throw water balloons on a girls camp!
