Day 4 - Tues. Aug 5

So here is a promised picture of our Noah's Ark campsite. We set up Eric & Sara's tent so that our doors where facing each other, and that gave us all a bit more room. So this day began with us going to Sky Trek Adventure Park. Such cool find. Casey, Eric and Sara all had a LOT of fun. You get harnessed up and spend time in the trees going through obstacles, zip lining, suspended bridges, swinging logs, or balancing between cables. Sara could do the kids course, which was a great challenge for her. She loved it so much we let her do it a second time. I have so many pictures to chose from, but here is just a few.

Eric and Casey took 4 hours to go from being harnessed, trained, and doing 2 out of 3 of the adult courses (Eric wasnt tall enough to reach the final course). I was great to watch them, but it was a long wait for Jada and I. There was a great couple in front of the boys, and they took a ton of pictures of Casey & Eric in the trees, so maybe once they have emailed them to me I will post some more pics.

Then the children & Casey braved a helicopter ride. I am so proud of them for being fearless. Sara even sat in the front seat beside the pilot (whose name is also Sara). Even Jada went up. I however, sat in the helicopter while it was running, but was oh too scared to go up. When the guy (whose name was Eric) was going to put on my seatbelt, I freaked out. That thing is so small, I dont even like fair rides. So I chickened out and watched. After that we walked over to feel the lake. It was mighty cold. The beach is at 3 Valley Gap, where we ate everyday while in BC. (Oh no, did you think we cooked at camp, NO WAY, we are on holidays, no cooking for us). Eric & Sara even jumped in. Sara did this awesome pose as soon as she popped out of the water. And the day was not over yet. Can you believe that we still fit in a drive on this Amphibious Vehicle Argo Ride. Casey drove us around trails and through water on this thing for almost 1/2 an hour. It was bumpy but a blast.
We all crashed pretty hard this night, sleep was so easy in the mountains.
