High Adventure!


CLICK ON IMAGES FOR LARGE VERSIONS

Over spring break, we decided to take a quick trip to the mountains, and thanks to the expertise of Mountain Man Sean, and a bunch of Stay Positive, Stay Motivated kids, it was a huge success.

The destination was locked in early, but who would be coming along for the trip, was in flux till the last minute, but as usual, it all came together as a crew of seven boys, two girls, three dogs, me and Sean stormed the mountains.

The boys had the camp dialed in when we arrived in the Millennium Falcon.


Some things never change, when I was a kid, all we needed was a dirt mound as a jump, and the hours flew by like minutes, the same thing happened here, as the boys spent much of the time, "getting air". Guys and girls, click on any pictures, for much bigger images.

Tristan takes flight...

Nathan soars...


C.T. takes off...

Jacob with a smooth landing...

Matt on the green machine...

Colton tucks in mid flight for distance....

The girls were not to be denied, and charged the jump over and over, with shouts of, "You got air!".

Here's Ashley...

And Thea...

Colton, wanted a picture of the bike, he wants to buy...good luck buddy!


After a chilly night, with hot dogs and marshmallows over the fire, it was time for breakfast.


Sean is the master of campfire cooking, with custon tools of the trade, and a servant's heart, he worked the fire for over an hour, making sure we were all plenty full before he finally made up his own.

Eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, we had it all...it was awesome! Thanks, Buddy!





After breakfast and more jumps, it was off on an adventure bike ride.


Alex and Jacob, tree climbing experts extraordinaire!


The pack...


Thea and Ashley doing some rock climbing.


Some mountain biking.


More rock climbing, notice spider man Sean, and his dog, wondering, "Should he be doing this with a cast on his arm?"


We started a club a while back, called the Butcher Boyz (and girlz), we started as a skate club, but, it has evolved into a club for kids who love adventure, and are committed to Staying Positive, Staying Motivated...good job to all of you on this trip, you are all in the club!

The line-up from left to right. Ashley, Colton, Matt, Thea, Jacob, Nathan, Tristan, Colin, Alex.


Have a great day everybody,

Love God--Live Large!
