GO, BLAKE, GO!

Okay, so we watch a lot of Dora and Diego at our house (are you singing the song yet?)...but I couldn't resist, since the boys and Brian recently made their way to Indian Hills campgrounds in Jamul for a fun-filled day of camping activities- including a REAL zip line!!

They weren't able to camp overnight, since we had just returned from DC, but Brian and the boys spent a day with their Cub Scout dens and friends playing on the ultimate playground complete with a two story slide, giant boulders to climb, real bow and arrows for my archery lover, a human game of foosball, and, the highlight- a zip line!




Bull's eye! Well, close enough.

Zzzzipity-doo-dah....




(So much for being the "cautious child"...next he wants to skydive!)

Even the parents got to get in on the fun! And with some coaxing, Garrett was able to once again conquer his fear of heights! Either that or the kid really will do ANYthing for Legos.


Putting on a brave face...

Oh, yeah! He's the man...what's next?

Although this year's trip didn't involve us camping out, something tells me it won't be long before we find ourselves pitching a tent there....

Anyone involved in Scouts can tell you that there is a lot of camping involved. In an effort to seek out another (lower key) campground close to home we made an outing to Dos Picos Park in Ramona to check things out. In addition to a small but very nice campground, pond and surrounding hills and trails, they have a beautiful park for the kids, which, coincidentally, also had a (MUCH smaller) zip line. It was a picture perfect fall day, so I couldn't resist- you guessed it- taking some pictures.





Ella in a rare moment of sitting still...for two seconds.

Because this child doesn't WALK anywhere...she runs!

Happy Trails!
