now i know ...
i am really not as young as i think i am. yesterday i went with my daughter and the rest of the daphne girls varsity soccer team to camp beckwith. it really was a great time. i am sore from climbing poles and trees, but what we got to do after we got up on those poles and trees was worth it.
have you ever ridden a zip line? i got to ride one yesterday. have you ever jumped off of the top of a telephone pole and grabbed a trapeze bar? i did, and now i am paying for it. i now know that i am not 18 yearsold anymore. my hips are killing me!
well, the girls really bonded well, and i hope they get to take home some good lessons on succeeding and relying on each other and communicating to get things done.
it all started with some group games, and then we got put our buffs, no we didn't go to fiji island for survivor, but we did get these yellow bandanas to wear. we used the buff to make a blindfold, and covered our eyes. we then grabbed the sholders of the person in front of us forming a train. our sherpa lead us by only the sound of his clapping hands. he lead us through treacherous ditches and narrow passes through trees. we finished at a rope trail, but we had to keep our blindfolds on.
at the ropes, we had to keep our left hand on the rope at all times. at times the rope seemed to disappear. that made us feel weird. did i mention we were not able to talk? that made the difficulty factor soar. imagine 14 teen girls not allowed to talk? that didn't happen, but they did ok. i mean it was an impossible challenge to ask them to be quiet for an extended period of time.
after all of the challenges we ended with a surf and turf dinner and a bonfire. the girls got their soccer stuff, and we called a night.
i am so sore.
