YW in Excellence

We attended the YW in Excellence program.

Diaper drive and Halloween party

We gathered and sorted diapers (over 800!) and then joined the YW/YM for games and Halloween fun.

Hay Maze

We ran the hay maze at Wilson farm and then visited the chickens and goats down below, culminating our visit with apple cider donuts and apple cider. (photos eaten by dead phone)

Film making

We made films. My phone died and I lost the footage.

Opening Social

Getting to know you games

Walking some tight ropes

The girls showed us their excellent prowess on the ropes course, quickly conquering all manner of obstacles and pushing personal limits without compromising safety.  I'm not sure if Beanstalk has ever seen a flossing zipliner before, but they have now. After teetering in the heights, they enjoyed ice cream and a water show dance party. Fun times, fun girls!

Clara sneezes!

Ridiculously silly

Halibut Point State Park

What a lovely day for hiking in Rockport! We took the self-guided tour around the quarry, and detoured to bask near the ocean before making our way back to around the other side of the quarry. The quarry was filled with all sorts of water fowl, tadpoles, bullfrogs, and pollen. No girls were lost over the often steep ledges, so that's a big win!
