In the woods
Mark and I spent today working on the Trail of Terror. Our last five weekends here will be devoted to Halloween, and the Trail of Terror is apparently the biggest event of the year.

Family Olympics Weekend
Next summer Legacy is going to make it mandatory for Activities to be closed for part of the day and outside activities to be planned. Jeff had asked us to experiment with it this summer, so I decided that Family Olympics Weekend was the time to try it out.

Father’s Day Weekend and beyond…
For Father’s Day Weekend, a church group basically took over Marval and they had their own activities planned, so we didn’t get as much business in the Activity Center. Monday was also pretty quiet, but things were beginning to pick up again yesterday when we had our last day of work for the week. Continue reading
