GLENDO 2024

Mother's daughter-look how strong she is?

This is when Russell stayed put and we were all good!

The trek back to our campsite from the water!

Ella and Dempsey's village

The boys created a teepee fire and kept a lookout for the ranger

GLENDO 2024 was just the best....! This year we reserved 3 nights, which continues to be our favorite amount of time! We had a spot that was a bit different than the last few years, which I experienced some grumbles for. I did (and Russell) reminded the children that if they want to have an opinion to join on in around February when Mandy and I are hunting for camping spots! GEESH-hard to please! 

This year we had amazing days-warm and the water felt so refreshing. Kevin had a blast, and we all enjoyed our time throwing the ball/sticks to him. The boys created a fort in the brush and worked on it for hours. The girls created these houses! There were new and improved pictures with cooler tricks- pyramid? THAT"S right!!!!! Lots of cartwheels and handstands. Russ even moved on. me during my handstand to help save Dempsey....#savethechildren, right? 

We did try and go cliff jumping on Saturday. At the same time a storm decided to move on in. We were able to get 15 minutes of jumping before the waves were crashing, and the sky was insanely grey. We decided to come back on Sunday before we left. We did the smaller jumps and then headed over to big one. According to the ranger that I spoke with-this is 60 ft. Russell thinks it is more like 50ft. EITHER way...huge. Our first jump was spearheaded by Russell, followed by Dempsey, then me, then Ryk. AJ knows better (wink wink). Our second jump was a bit more eventful- I splayed by leg a bit weird and also weirdly contemplated if I should be doing this with a new hip on the way down (GREAT TIME TO CONTEMPLATE THAT)....I also lost my apple watch for the 2nd time while cliff diving (I'm wild and crazy...I know)....Demps landed with our arm out and it looked/felt horrible....and ...well 2 times jumping was enough.

WHAT a great time had by all!!!!!!
