P.E. It's more than running laps.

Why run laps when you can rappel and swim all day?   Since the teens have been meeting continuously through the summer, we have been having a ball.  It's like a checklist we're crossing off... roller skating, bowling, football, basketball, swimming, baseball, volleyball...who knows what's next!
This week, the kids went rappelling.  We had 10 kids, 2 dads, 4 moms and our fearless leader along for the trip.    This is Sarah just starting the descent.  Kelly is up there too, she's over on the right (sitting).

Almost down...

Success!  **Her words..."Let's do that again!"  and she did... 4 more times.

The hard part about the whole thing was going up.  They had to climb a rock facing that was at about a 75° angle.  After Kelly sat up there so long, she got spooked and came back down.  I can't say I blame her, but maybe next time.

She spent time playing in the water and swimming with her friends.

I like days like this and needless to say, they both slept well that night. ;)
