Princesses - Camp Marston

Avery and I went to Camp Marston with the Galloping Ponies this past weekend. What a great camp! It's owned (maybe leased?) by the YMCA, and it's pretty much a typical "camp" that you would imagine with camp "counselors" (younger peeps that put on shows, run the activities, etc)

Highlights:
  • Night hike - no flashlights allowed. Eating volcanic rock.
  • Rock wall. Avery did an attempt each day, getting about halfway up the wall on Sunday.
  • Canoes. Dad and Avery paddled around the small lake fighting the wind.
  • Archery. Avery didn't really dig it too much; kind of difficult for her to manage the bow and arrow (even with the kids size). The dads (Stace, Rafael and I) tried a longer range target with adult bows and had fun.
  • BB Gun range. Avery really dug this - did it twice and we brought home some paper targets that she hit.
  • The Ponies did a skit. Puppets of girls joining the tribe and learning the "six aims"
