Piggies in the Woods 2008



This was our second annual "Piggies" weekend where the kids come up to our mountain to try their hand at being campers for the weekend.(they have no idea that we are actually grooming them to someday take over the "Pig in the Woods" weekend when we are no longer able---a long, long time from now!!!)

This year was as usual action packed. The biggest hit was the zip line Jeff and Clayton "rigged" from one hill to another. It was 500 ft. of cable which Clayton brought up to the mountain and it was about 30 ft. off of the ground when it was set up. The kids went first and each one seemed a little apprehensive but after the ride decided to do it again and again. The adults (except myself of course) went next and really seemed to like it too. I think it will be seen again on the mountain next year!!

Other fun we had was the usual, 4 wheeling all over the mountain, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows, swimming in the lake, catching crayfish in the creeks and Grant lossing his first tooth!

Everyone had an awesome time until it poured rain the last night at about 3 am and lasted until about 8am. There was no warning it was going to rain and everyone had something outside their tent that wasn't waterproof! We all dried out and packed up for the ride home and decided that it was all worth the trouble! Another great summer weekend to talk about until next year.
