High Flying Birthday Party

For the boys' 11th birthday party we took them and their friends to the Baylor Challenge Course.




























This course is a combination of low ropes and high ropes, but for the party I only reserved the high ropes part.  They had two different obstacle course activities and then they had the screamer, which was the high swing.  It was neat to watch the boys encourage each other and test their limits when they got scared.  The crew working with them was fabulous, as well.  They knew just what to say to push them a little further when they thought they wanted to quit.  Once their feet hit the ground they all would say, "Wow, that was scary! I want to do it again!"

































































Here is Troy and Kelby up at the same time.

















When the boys were not climbing they were helping hold the rope or anchor down the lead holder.  It was neat to watch them work as a team.





















Teague even tried a few of the challenges!




















Amber and Blake and Richard were also right along with the boys climbing and swinging!
























At the end of our session, Mr. Greg circled the boys up and asked what they learned.  One of them raised their hand and said "I learned that I can conquer my fear of heights."  What a great accomplishment for him!  No matter if they came scared or not, I know each boy left proud of themselves and the things that they tried!  They are a brave crew!

















After our time was up we enjoyed ice cold beverages and cake and presents!  It was a fun filled afternoon that wore these boys out!
