Happy 8th Birthday, Orin Edward!!
Orin is such an athlete. He is constantly challenging himself. He LOVES when he develops a new skill ... marveling that he is able to accomplish the feat. He is super enthusiastic and wild. He pushes the envelope (just like his Daddy!) ...
He can climb higher...
He can bounce higher ...
He can drive faster ...
He can run faster ...
Recently, his accomplishments have wowed us as he has perfected his backflips on the trampoline. This guys is a total stud! He's an inspiration to his other brothers as well.
So, for his birthday, we had to go extreme, too. We ziplined, We treasure hunted, and We obstacle Coursed. It was EPIC (isn't that like THE word of the year?)
The treasure hunt was a blast. The clues were more challenging than my usual clues. Kara and I hid the clues in high places, hidden places, and we even buried a clue in the sand volleyball court and one in a container in the pond! Oh, yes.
Orin looking for clues in the gazebo. Yes, I sent him up high because I knew he's love it. :-)
Again, "Climb to the top, Orin!"
Then came the obstacle course. Dwight and Derrick set it up. It was tough ...
They'd start out by running down the hill, ducking under a tape, running across gravel (all of them did this barefoot), jumping over a bench, running up the slide, down the climbing wall, across the monkey bars ...
Then, they had to jump in the water trough, duck under the beam, and jump out the other side.
Then into the sand on their bellies to crawl across the court, under the rope.
Then, run across the sand and gravel again...
To a table that you have to climb up on and jump over ...
Then across the tight "rope"
Orin rocked the tight rope, which was the hardest part for everyone.
Then, Dwight, Uncle Wade, and Uncle Derrick did the course.
And fun was had by all ...
