Camp Finale, Home At Last!

Saturday morning we woke up to rain.  The forecast was for rain all day.  We did breakfast in the cabin and rotated the campers through till everyone was fed.  The rain let up a little and the kids headed for the dome.  We managed to break down camp on the outside and by the time this was done it was time for closing.  Michelle and Dawn went to pick up pizza.  We had decided to do closing at the dome.

Pizza!

Questions and Answers.

Prizes!
 
Closing activities went well.  We had pizza, chips, pop, cake and ice cream.  Everyone seemed to enjoy it.  Michelle asked the kids some questions on what they learned and then gave out prizes to everyone that was involved.
 
I don't believe that this will rank as the best Church Camp to date?  We did learn some things and we took some losses.  The rain showed us that the tents leaked.  JJ's laptop got wet and he has since purchased a new one.  We are going to see if we can get the old one repaired or if it is worth it?  The Mongoose Vinson took a beating on the back of the van.  It was an expensive camp!
 
Prior to the closing Michelle and I decided that we were going to come home after closing.  We let the kids play for a while and we started to pack up.  We filled the van and headed home to sleep in our own bed.  That was well deserved.  Sunday morning we went back and finished packing up, cleaned the cabin and came back with both vehicles.  Camp was then officially over.
 
As I write this we are still cleaning and doing laundry from camp.  I think this is going to take a whole week.
 
Ore to Shore training was very successful!  The rain kept JJ from getting his first 20 mile ride of the year in.  Hoping to do that tomorrow night.  His work schedule is pretty full through the weekend.  We still have some work to do before August. 
 
Next post will be on the bikes that will get us their!

End of Summer

The Best Time to Bike! On Saturday I traveled with Raymond to the Bear Claw Epic.  This was the second annual race and the second time up there for Raymond and I.  We got there with plenty of time to spare and got ready to go. Farley ready to go. I registered for Beginner Fat Bike or at least I thought so?  I felt pretty good and knowing that I only had one lap to do I went all out.  I passed several riders through the race and felt I did pretty good.  This course has a lot of climbing and rewards you with some nice downhills. After I finished my race I put on a fresh shirt and went out on the course with the camera and my new lens.  I took over 400 pictures and headed back to the start finish after Raymond finished his race. Raymond on his second lap. And the final climb. The beginner awards were going on and they announced my name as first place for Beginner Men 50-59.  I was surprised, but did not protest.  Aft...

It has been a while since an update and the common cold has been working its way through the family.  Michelle and the boys have got the worst of it so far.  It has slowed me down but has not put me down.  Hopefully it won't get me completely.  It did cause Michelle to miss 2 days of work and I missed one.  We both missed Financial Peace University last night, we will have to watch the video.  It has caused me to miss some training. However, I did manage to get on the trainer 2 days this week and hopefully again tomorrow. Dad had a procedure today and all was well.  Had to get up early and pick him up.  He had the procedure at Covenant so I was able to work for a while when he was in.  We went out to lunch afterwards and then had a good visit with him and mom. This winter continues to be mild as we again are having above normal temperatures.  We had snow last night and most of it melted today.  They are call...
