Kerfoot Canopy Tour

When we were volunteering at Every Meal, Emma got to talking to Joy about her desire to visit the high ropes course again. Emma loves the high ropes courses but no one else in the family enjoys it much. She has asked many times to go but never has anyone to take her. Joy willingly stepped into the role this year and she and Emma had an adventure down in Belle Plaine, MN with Kerfoot Canopy Company.

Hopefully, this will fufill the desire to visit high spaces for at least the next few years. A big thank you to Joy!

At Least One per Summer...Waterparks

What would summer be without a trip or two to the waterpark? Analise made sure we didn't miss out on our opportunity to go in a lazy river, giant pool or down some fast moving waterslides. She planned a trip for her friends to Splash Valley in Apple Valley.

A favorite was the slides where you could ride in a tube. This one below was like a toilet flush at the end where they spun around before coming out. Most came out facing forward, Analise decided to come down backwards. The girls all looked a bit worried before they went down but in the end they all said it was fun and went on again.

Of course many rounds of the lazy river took place as was as multiple trips up to the fast moving tube slide. They also enjoyed a body slide that dropped them off the end.

Surprisingly, Analise was willing to try every single water slide, even the body slides. She said they were all a lot of fun and that she is officially over her fear of waterslides. It took about 7 years for her to be able to say that but we are thankful the day came!

This was one of Analise's last times to have Fiona, Ella and Tessa together with her. We hope the group will still get together next summer for Art Club at Tessa's house. I think Ella had it will all my picture taking by the end. It is hard to believe next week is the final week of summer for the girls.
