I had the absolute best day at Sand Creek yesterday. We had a group of thirty-some from Thrivent Financial out. In that group, five people from the same department had requested to be together. I got that group, with three additional people. They were amazing. After the first element and our first discussion, they became a team of eight and conquered the low ropes course. I have never had such a successful group! It was so excellent!
I also learned how to lead the "leap of faith" where you climb a telephone pole and jump off the top of it onto a trapeze bar. Fun? From where I was standing it was great! Not that I'm ever going up . . .
As I drove to Sand Creek this morning, I thought absolutely nothing could top yesterday. Was I ever wrong! We had two groups today. I got to work alone with seven sixth and seventh graders from River Bend Nature Center while the rest of the staff took on a group of seventy kids from a Methodist Church in Edina.
We had so much fun! I can't even begin to describe . . . I learned to belay on the incline log, we played great games, we had fun team building, and of course, we had to zip at the end! After they left, I launched the other group on the zip line.
The best news? I have the next five days off! Glory!
