Y Guides Spring Outing 2011...

During the weekend of 4/29 - 5/1, Riley and Tony had their first Y Guides/Princesses camping trip together.  They have been looking forward to this trip all year and they had a wonderful time.  Tony said the camp experience with Riley is much different than with Regan.  Riley was very talkative, full of energy and went non-stop.  Hmmm...wonder who that sounds like?!  Tony was tired going into the weekend because he had just gotten back from a business trip in Atlanta so he had a hard time keeping up with Riley.  But, they had an awesome weekend and one that they will never forget.  Here are the highlights...   
Their cabin...
Riley's tribe out by the lake looking for turtles.
The inside of the cabin... 
Up with the sun....late to bed, early to rise.  They were up until about 10:00 every night and then had to be up at 6:15 in the mornings. 
 Riley waiting for the Ferryboat to arrive.  The first year Y Princesses/Guides get to ride on a Ferryboat.
 Riley trying out Archery.  Tony and Riley also shot BB guns but we don't have a photo of that.
 Tony and Riley did a lot of canoeing in the lake.  I think Tony said they went canoeing 3 times throughout the weekend.
 Riley and her friend, Sarah, looking for Shark Teeth.
 Riley digging for the perfect one.
I was so amazed Riley went on this Zipline.  Tony has never gotten to do it because Regan never wanted to.  So, he finally got his chance.  They had to wait in an hour long line though.  Riley loved it and wished that she could have done it more than once but the line was just too long.
On Sunday morning, there was a 5k race.  Riley really wanted to do it and talked about it all weekend.  Tony said she would run from place to place at camp and would tell him, "I am training for the 5k."  She has not been running so Tony was worried about how she would do.  Well, she did AWESOME and only walked a little.  Tony said he thinks she could have run the whole way but she wanted to wait for her friend.  Riley's friend, Sarah, and her dad did it with them.  We are so proud of Riley for completing her 1st 5K race!
