Last Sunday, our "local" YMCA residential camp hosted a free afternoon of fun for YMCA members. Because our family LOVES the YMCA and LOVES camps, we decided to go check it out! Camp Carson is a lot smaller than the other Y camps that we have been involved with, but it is in a beautiful location and has a lot to offer. The weather was absolutely gorgeous for taking a walk outside, but it was a bit chilly for the water activities (which were the majority of the planned events). So, we enjoyed a canoe trip around the lake, a hay ride tour of the camp and the indoor game room & climbing wall. They have a really cool zip line that starts at 3 stories high and ends up in the lake. A few kids braved the cold water to try the zip line, but our boys decided it was too high and too cold! Hopefully, with me working for the Y and our recent budget expense reduction, one day we can afford to send the boys to overnight camp at Camp Carson. It was a nice family outing, though short & sweet!

I am so jealous! I love the Y. That is one of the things I miss most about St. Louis. There are no Y's around here and definitely no Y camps! You don't know what you've got til its gone!
What a fun day. I can't believe how big your boys are getting.
I did not realize you were working at the Y. How much are you working? What are you doing?
Your family always does such great things with the Y.
Good to catch up with ya. Sounds like your life is full and fun.
Kyle and I met at Camp Carson, and that is also where he proposed. He proposed under the pine trees in front of the cabins, right where we met.
