Fun & Games

Being surrounded by wide open fields and an entire state park, and having a large supply of duct tape and sunflower seeds meant we were never bored…

Here are just some of the ways we entertained ourselves throughout the Great Escape…

Capture the flag with water balloons was the BEST!

Needless to say, by the end of the day we were ready for a shower. So every evening after our game time but before our evening lesson, we drove to the campground for nice hot showers…
