The CXC Elite and Junior Teams have been in Marine, MN for a two week training camp. In an impressive showing the entire crew joined the Minnesota Youth Ski League group for some ski specific drills, fun games and some ice cream. One of the kids couldn’t have done a better job describing the event, “Perfect Day, Perfect Day.”br /br /div style=”text-align: center;”a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_M9ps8F85nS0/Sj7CD3hjkJI/AAAAAAAAAP0/WxhoaOBK9-k/s1600-h/MarineCamp+032.JPG”img style=”margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;” src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_M9ps8F85nS0/Sj7CD3hjkJI/AAAAAAAAAP0/WxhoaOBK9-k/s400/MarineCamp+032.JPG” alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349926779062816914″ border=”0″ //aspan style=”font-style: italic;”Kicking the soccer ball and playing the name game as people arrive.

This game was a new one for me, but it is awesome. We will play it at ‘The Club’ soon. One monster is it and when they tag someone they have to lie on the ground with their feet and hands in the air. Two or more ‘alive’ ants can free them by picking them up and carrying them to one of several safe spots (marked by a jersey on the grass). /spanbr /br /div style=”text-align: center; font-style: italic;”a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_M9ps8F85nS0/Sj7BndjxkTI/AAAAAAAAAPc/uU0b74UVLiI/s1600-h/MarineCamp+059.JPG”img style=”margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;” src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_M9ps8F85nS0/Sj7BndjxkTI/AAAAAAAAAPc/uU0b74UVLiI/s400/MarineCamp+059.JPG” alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349926291056464178″ border=”0″ //aRelaysbr /br //divdiv style=”text-align: center;”a style=”font-style: italic;” onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M9ps8F85nS0/Sj7BnD3hu7I/AAAAAAAAAPU/UKeWHu3Ut78/s1600-h/MarineCamp+033.JPG”img style=”margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;” src=”http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M9ps8F85nS0/Sj7BnD3hu7I/AAAAAAAAAPU/UKeWHu3Ut78/s400/MarineCamp+033.JPG” alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349926284159990706″ border=”0″ //aspan style=”font-style: italic;”Obstacle Course/spanbr //divdiv class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8083254037538554650-1353032184341344397?l=in-the-arena-brian.blogspot.com’ alt=” //div
