To Be a Hero

Every little kid wants to be a superhero at some point.
So this past weekend I helped teach a group of children how to be one...and hopefully I learned a few things myself.

The Superhero Training Camp was in Granite Creek, Wyoming. A campground, a waterfall, plenty of trails, hot springs, and the infamous outhouses. It was perfect.

My cousin Caitlin and I were the official Superhero Trainers.

The first day at Superhero Training Camp, we gave each Superheros-in-Training secret identities and told them that their mission was just beginning.

They had much to learn if they wanted to be TRUE superheros.

And of course, what is a superhero without a cape?

And so it began, the rigorous training to become a superhero. Each day, the superheros in training received instructions on how to fulfill their mission as a superhero. The first day they learned how to obtain superhero powers. On the second day they learned how they could use their strength for good. On the third day they learned how they could overcome fear. On the final and fourth day, they learned how they could do ALL things required in their mission as a superhero.

The best part? We had two experienced Superheros who gave their stamp of approval to our work.

By the end of the Superhero Training Camp, we had 12 superheros ready to save the world.

Mission Accomplished!

Just for extra fun, here are Mr. and Mrs. Incredible and our Superhero Cheer.
