Pictures From Ben's Big Trip

When I last wrote Ben was going on a week long trip to Leysin, Switzerland with his class from school.  It was his 3rd class trip since we've been at ZIS.  These trips are all about confidence building, and outdoor activities, and NO parents.  Think of them like a summer camp, only on steroids.  Ben was exhausted when he came back but he had a great time.  He really enjoys going on these trips.  Ben's teacher took pictures of all the kids during the week and he gave all the parents copies when he returned.  So here's what Ben and all his friends did during the week.  Jenny and I are so happy for Ben that he got to take trips like this during his time at ZIS.
