We set out one day for all the cousins to jump from a bridge. The day we ventured out it was raining and probably 65 degrees. It did not deter some of them. (I had the video camera so this is the only picture I had.... :-( ) I am terrible at judging distances, but it was probably 15 feet from where they were standing (some people jump from on top of the taller green beam). The last one to jump was Joseph and my heart skipped a beat as I stood over him and watched him jump down. He hit that cold water and I think was too stunned to let out a cry. An activity that we will be doing again.
We hiked up to a water fall and this was the only good picture we got.
Then we headed to an indoor climbing center. Here is Sam
Joseph is on the wall while cousin Kelsey belayed him (at the bottom of the rope)
Joseph shimmied up a rope, with Kendall on the belay, and lots of others cheering him on. He made it all the way to the top, which was about 30 feet. Jbird is on the wall below him.
We celebrated Granny's bday...that is what a lot of candles looks like
And this is what the smoke from all those candles looks like :-)
After the cousins left, we (and Granny) headed up to the local ski resort where they had all kinds of activities. The boys enjoyed trying their hand at roping.
Some humans even got roped.
and tied
See the big rain drops in this pictures....?
We then played sand volleyball in the rain. The boys had never played real volleyball and on a fun sand pit.
This kid is into styling his hair and I love it...he gets up in the morning and finds my hairspray and goes to town, although the rain during volleyball helped him get this look.
I love Jacob's curls when his hair is freshly wet.
The "Mom I don't know how to smile look"
Then the boys hit the bungee trampoline (got rained out for the climbing wall and giant swing.)
Jacob and Benjamin were able to turn flips.....
A wonderful visit with the family....looking forward to the next one.
