Field Trip!!!!!!!!

Cooper and his class went to the "forest" out in the woods.
They were all paired up in partners and this was his partner, Marcella.

Getting their directions from the teachers before getting instructions from the instructors.
RUN..... RUN..... RUN!
The kids got to roast marshmallows.
Cooper loved his first roasted marshmallows. Many kids didn't like it but Cooper and his buddies sure did.
Time for some lunch.
After lunch is was back to work. The kids had to do a rope course blindfolded and that it would have been pretty hard for an adult. They were going up and down big hills and it was pretty hard.
After that it was off to the zip line. Cooper was the first one to go!
Cooper loved it soooooo much and some of the kids wouldn't even do it. So the instructor let him go twice. So at the end of the blog is a video of him doing it. I couldn't believe how long it was. I was so proud of him being for being so brave.
Then it was more of the rope course........ having to go down a big hill!
Time to test your balance.
WOW! I would NOT want to do this one. They had to climb up this big hill under the netting.
One of Coop's favorite things is JUMPING!
Cooper and one other kid were the only ones that could climb up this. I think his daddy was pretty proud of him.
Cooper was pretty proud as well.
More balancing.
He sure would make a cute little boy scout.
At the end of the day they chose a kid out of each group that did really well. She chose Cooper out of his group. She said, "Cooper tried really hard and even when he got hurt he didn't give up." So he got an "awar," his plant! He was so proud of it though.
These are the kids that won a plant and the instructors from the "forest"
I was so happy Darin volunteered to go with them so we could get all the pictures of Cooper and to see all the hard work he had to do. They were both so worn out when they got home. I hope that next year I will get to go with them.

*Here is the video of Coop on the zip line.
