This last week we went to a family reunion for my family. Just my brothers and sisters and their families. We went up to Heber Valley Camp in Heber City. It is a huge camp owned by the church. They own 8500 acres of ground and in that ground there is currently 7 camps with cabins a lake and I think 5 challenge coarses. There are more camps being added as they are constructed. It was a ton of fun. We participated in one of the challenge coarses that promotes trust and team work. After each completed obstacle they related it to the gospel. How we need each other to rely on and how as we draw closer to our Heavenly Father we will draw closer to each other. The whole expereince was so uplifting and good fun. We plan to make this our place to go every year. Yes it was that good. Below are some pics of some of the obstacles......
With this one, we had to walk on these cables by supporting each other. The Cables crossed and varied between being close and far apart. It was hard to lean on the other person for support and balance.
On this one we had to all stand on a balance beam and try to balance evenly for 5 seconds. We were perfectly balanced for much longer. This one was a little scary.
This is the spider web and we had to pass our team from one side of the web to the other. We could only use on hole per person and if you touched the web with any part of your body, you had to start over. This one was fun.
The last obstacle was all about trust. Brandon, my older brother, explains a little about it...
The pics below are of me and Travis in our gear and then making the trek across the high rope.....I was sooo scared. My legs were shaking like crazy. Travis wasn't near as scared. He is so brave!

It looks like you guys had so much fun! What a cool place. I love the new picture of Jax on the side. He is so cute. How is Harlee liking 1st grade?
That looks so fun. I am excited, we are having our family reunion there in 3 years. I'll have to tell my mom about the obstacle course.
Okay, who thought of all those fun things to do & why aren't you in charge of the Gregersen reunions!? We might actually get attendance if this kind of stuff was going on!
I've done a ropes course before, some of those same events. Before doing one you think, how amazing could walking some ropes or passing people thru a makeshift web really be, but afterwards its like, I just had the most amazing, spiritual, challenging experience ever! I'm on cloud nine!
Gotta love it!
oh ya, the high rope is the best! I was in tears before I finally got brave enough to push thru that fear. WAY TO GO WOMAN!
