Walter Family Reunion

This past weekend we went to Heber with the whole Walter Family for a really fun reunion. We went to the girls camp that the church owns. It was amazing! Bathrooms with running water and showers, amazing cabins, already cut fire wood and most important; A FRIDGE! Sadly though, Debbie and I were not able to stay the night. Here are some pictures from the fun activities we did!













The first thing we did was tie-dye shirts. Debbie and I were responsible for making Meili and Eliah's shirts and we found time to make them for the dogs too!



We played Bingo and card games and did lots of little crafts. We all had a lot of fun with these activities! (Even if they were meant for the little kids!)

I think the best part of the trip were these challenge courses. The spider web was challening, the tight rope balancing was painful on my feet and the boards were very difficult to figure out. It really gave us an opportunity to lean on our family and help each other out.

Then there was the rock climbing, high wire walking and repelling. It was really fun! Most everyone in the family participated! Here I am on the high wire between the two trees.

Here is Debbie walking across the wire! I was really proud of her. She is very scared of heights and was amazing!

Scout was our little buddy most of the day. Here are Debbie and Scout watching a challenge.

The whole family
After the challenge courses, we returned to camp and told family stories and had dessert. The whole event was amazing! We had such a wonderful day! Thanks to the whole family who participated and planned the events! We missed those that could not come and hope to be able to do this again!
As for the dogs and their shirts...

They loved them!
