Friday's Activities

After breakfast on Friday morning all teams went together on a hike to Willow Lake (across from Solitude). It was very steep to begin with but ended in a beautiful meadow.

Several of our leaders on the hike.

Before going back down we spent some time at the top of the hike. The YM Pres directed the kids to follow him to this clearing in silence. He asked them to spend 20 minutes in silent scripture study. This is Justin pictured above. After their personal study they spent 15 minutes discussing what they read with their team.
This is Brooke's team - The Orange Team. Their team name was Team Nemo and their motto was "just keep swimming." They were a very strong team and ended up tying for 1st place for the whole race.

This is Justin's team - Team Red. Their name was Team Fruit and their motto was Eat Healthy. (they needed a little help in the creativity department.)

When all the teams were finished with the hike we held our challenge for the morning. Each team was giving a bag of beans - very small beans. They were told they had to count the beans and turn in the count. For every bean they were off on their count, each team member had to eat that many vienna sausages. My team only had to eat 1 vienna sausage because we counted twice. Justin's team had to eat 14 each!!
