Even after watching others complete (or not complete) the high ropes course the day before, Will was determined to do it. So we woke up early, got in line and signed up Chris, Zack and Will for the first time slot of the day.
With Will being afraid of heights since he was a baby, Mommy was pretty anxious about the whole thing. But I was more nervous than anyone else.
They all got suited up and headed up into the trees. Just before going, Will quoted his favorite verse, "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13

waiting to get down
Will took the zip line down
he was all smiles but still a little shaky from the rush
Chris took the free-fall swing down
showing off with the inverted crossThey all did great! Zack zipped through the course so quickly that I hardly had time to take any pictures! Will did awesome and was all smiles when he got down off the zip line! (He was still shaking a bit from the adreniline rush though) Chris chose to exit the course on the swing which he enjoyed after getting over the feeling of being yanked off a platform 30 feet in the air!
I was so proud of my fearless bunch that I bought them all the ropes course shirts from the camp gift store! They deserved it!!!
