Camp Blue 2015!


Another year, another Lair of the Bear!  
 We returned to the Lair for one of our best years ever up at Camp Blue.


On Sunday night we took the family out on the sunset hike.  Arne and I did this hike pre-kids.  It is not much of an actual hike, but a great time to hang out with friends and family in the wilderness.



On Monday we headed up to Pinecrest Lake with Julia and her family for a paddle boating adventure. It was so much fun to jump and play in the lake.



Arne and I had fun playing volleyball.  I also enjoyed a little bit of softball.  In the staff game I hit a walk off homer to win the game.






We had our annual tie-dye fun.  This year Elsa decided on a theme of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, with some pink.  She designed the tie-dyes for the family and then once they were done, called them fireworks on the shirts.



Every day we had great pool time with the kids.  It was so much fun to watch how independent Elsa has become in the pool and also how much Liam enjoyed jumping into the pool.






One night was Disco Bingo.




Another night my Mom watched a sleeping Liam, so we could take Elsa out to a movie under the stars at Pinecrest Lake.  The next day we headed off on a creek walk.




Mackenzie continues to be Elsa's best buddy at the Lair.  It was so much fun to watch the girls go off by themselves and play games together.  Liam started to join in the fun as well. It was so sweet when Mackenzie asked to play the game family, where she is a sister to Elsa and Liam.




After a great week in the Kub Koral (KK) the 5 year olds parade in the dining hall, with both Liam and Elsa participating.  It was fun to see them playing together.



It was so nice to see old friends and enjoy time together.



It was also great to see all the wonderful staff shows at night.  Elsa and Liam were great in the KK Talent show and the Friday night show was a lot of fun to watch.
