"That was a fun Day!"
Quote from quite a few of the participants.
 |
| Four boats ferried about 49 people over to the River house |
Bishop and Bonnie Carter set-up and organized an extremely awesome day for the youth in our ward. Their daughter
(Janelle) and son-in-law have access to a River home on the Delta and allowed us to come and play at their place.
 |
| The object of this game was to wiggle the Oreo down your face into your mouth without the aid of your hands. It is possible! |
 |
| Some canoes went straight, some back and forth. Everyone made it though a few trips were much longer than others. |
There were 6 feat of skill to accomplish before lunch - you actually got to earn how many points (pennies) you got for lunch. Zip-line, Canoe skill, rifle target practice, build a fire, sponge-bob relay, and an Oreo eating contest.
 |
| The zip-line was so fantastic! |
 |
| Sponge-bob contest - get as much water from one bucket down the hill to the next with the sponge. |
 |
| Dominic eyes his cookie! |
 |
| Merit, Caleb, Shannon and Collette |
 |
| Fire-building - build a fire tall and high enough to burn the string. |
 |
| Addison on the zipline |
After lunch everyone got to pick which activity they wanted to do. Tubing behind the boats, zip-line, canoe down the river and the rifles were the top picks. Some went swimming, riding on the merry-go-round and explored the island.
 |
| Air-rifle - Dominic got all the targets |
 |
| Alyssa and Amanda take aim. |
 |
| Elizabeth, Sam and Whitney fan the flames |
 |
| Devun power paddle in front, Gavin, Sammy and Mike steers in the back - great crew |
 |
| Bishop Carter tested out the zip-line on the tallest guy - Michael |
The Bishop got quite a work-out catching the youth so they wouldn't smack into the tree at the end of the line. I'll bet his back and legs needed a massage.

| Sam on the Zipline |
 |
| Tubing was a hit |
 |
| Even side-wise and over - it's all fun! |
After staying an extra hour and a half, we all said Good-bye and got ferried back home.
 |
| Good-bye to a totally great day....... |
