Learning How to Fly

This weekend, the family traveled to Huntsville, Texas for GFA's staff retreat. We really had a good time. It was fun to get to spend time with other staff members in a more relaxed environment. We swam, did a ropes course, played board games and Casey fished (and even caught about 30 fish in the lake!)
Sleeping the first night was a bit rough. We're not used to being in the same room with the little guy, and we accidently woke him up on Friday night. He cried for at least an hour solid and then was up with the chickens at 5:45 a.m. But the next night, I think he was so exhausted that he conked right out and stayed asleep. Yay!

I'm sharing the pictures of me at the ropes course. I can't remember the exact name of this obstacle, but it requires climbing to the top of a tall (TALL!) wooden pole and then standing at the top. You then summon up what wee bit of courage you have left and jump off in an attempt to grab a swinging bar a few miles above you.

Casey and I both did the pole climbing event - he was able to grab the bar though. I missed it but I was still proud of myself for getting up there.
