The Great Outdoors - Part 2

Part 2 is known as "The Tower". A new feature to Camp Abe Lincoln (since I was a kid) is a 50' high climbing tower, consisting of foot pegs, rope ladders, moving vertical logs, etc. It was REALLY cool, and difficult!


Of course, the first one of our family to go up was our daredevil son, Carver. Here he is with the classic pose before he goes on his journey.

Look how small he looks as he ascends up the tower. It was amazing how well he did!

Here is a picture as he repels down from his climb. The councilor, Pappa Smurf, was guiding him down.

Of course, he had to show how tough he was following the climb.

Well, Mom and Dad couldn't be shown up by our 4 year old kid, so we took had to take on the challenge.

Amy was awesome as you can see her victory wave as she reached the top of the tower.

Here I am ascending as I chose a different path to travel (three options w/ various difficulty).

This path included a rope ladder that moved as you climbed.

Once I reached the top, I took enjoyed a free ride back down to the ground via Pappa Smurf.

This was a great activity and we really enjoyed it. Taylor and Kinnick plan on trying themselves next time we visit.
