The camping trip was a lot of fun. It was held at George L Smith state park. Thursday was spent setting up camp and waiting for people to arrive. Friday was field day fun. Nathan came up with a bunch of routine field games. The winners of each event got an entry to be drawn for gift cards. Each employee who participated also got an entry. Here is a picture of Christina (in black), Nathan’s sister, and Anna in a blind race. Apparently they were lead into each other’s path by their callers.

The sack race was run with huge garbage bags in teams of 3. Here is a picture of the first group lined up to start. From left to right in garbage bags is Danny, Justin, me, Doug and Anna. Nathan and Marc can be seen behind.

This is everyone lined up for the water balloon toss… too many to name.

Nathan came up with another game with water balloons modeled on a Survivor challenge. One team had to throw water balloons to each other while another team had sticks and tried to hit them or block them. First team with 3 points won. Nathan and I did pretty good in the middle. I am not sure what I was doing here but it looks like I am about to clock Nathan with the pole.

One of the last games I have a picture of is where you spin around with your head on a pole 10 times and then try to race to the finish line. Here is Danny, Nathan and I getting ready to spin…

We also had 3 legged races, egg toss, egg in a spoon race, and tug-a-war. While the adults played, the kids relaxed in the hammocks while Josh decided to stick by Scotty, one of Nathan’s Jeep buddies that was the cook for the weekend. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the gift cards. Since Jerry won almost every event he went home with the most gift cards. Nathan and I got one card for Carrabbas so we are going out on a date on Monday night. :)

Of course, since it is the nature of the company, not everyone stayed disconnected for the weekend. This is Nathan’s partner Blake (on right) and Huey taking a computer break…

Unfortunately it rained on Friday night and most of Saturday but we still had a lot of fun and it was great having Scotty there to cook. Nathan’s dad drove over both days to help cook as well so Nathan was able to actually spend time with everyone instead of cooking the whole time like the last trip. The company has decided that they are going to have two camping trips a year because everyone has enjoyed the last two so much.
