We told the kids that for their adventure in the sky today that we were going tree climbing.
I even joined in the fun…and can I just say that it is A LOT HARDER than it looks and A LOT HIGHER than it looks!
…And then they Really Got Climbing!
Can you see 7 kids in this picture!
Izzy was afraid to try swinging, but after she tried it once, she wanted to do it again and again.
Carter and Truman really could be Tarzan brothers. There was no limb too high and because they were so fast getting up, they had plenty of time to run along the branches, or just sit and have a chat.
Clark went UP and DOWN several times. It was interesting to watch how the kids attacked the activity and what their preferences were doing it.
Then we had Elliott, who tried numerous ropes and all kinds of ways negotiating the tree, including upside down.
While the other kids came down for lunch, Courtney and Jonah had us send their lunch UP!
Later on, after they had spent about 3 hours in that 70 foot oak tree, yes, think 7 stories high, the kids also played some team building games, and they were pretty darn good at working together too.
