Those kids from Eagle Bend Nature Center were on the docket today. This is the fourth year I've been working with them and I was excited to see them again! Since it was second through fifth graders, we set up the high ropes full course and then two elements for them - the leap of faith and the giant swing. They arrived and got off the van and we changed the plans. They were all short - can you say "going into the next grade level"?
So we went to the low ropes course and had a blast! Then went up to the high ropes were we did the leap of faith and giant swing. It was perfect! Back up the hill for lunch and . . . the thunder started rumbling, the black clouds were rolling, the wind picked up . . . we needed to change our plans! We couldn't send them off the first zip - they were all TOO small to zip in that wind!
We packed away lunches and did a Sand Creek first. We geared up. Hiked to platform two. Zipped to three, then to four, and only got a little wet. Another fun day at Sand Creek!
