Camping Fun at Ensign Ranch

We had 3 days filled with fun at Ensign Ranch with the Gealtas, Ellsworths, and Humphreys. Many canoe rides..

Including one where Bradley got stuck in the lake in a canoe by himself and I was in a canoe with 3 kids...that was interesting trying to toe him in against the lake current.

We sailed off the rope swing, including me!, despite the warnings of the leech filled lake...sure enough several of the kids ended up with them on their legs...gross.

One of my favorite shots...diehard watersliders heading in for a wet ride.

The girls went on pony rides

while the boys practiced lasso-ing. We also went on a group hayride complete with camp songs.

We got to go rock wall climbing. Paige waited so patiently while all 12 kids and few adults climbed and she still wanted a turn. They let her go and she made it pretty far, giggling all the way.

There was also a ropes course that the men did with the kids. Working together as a team, they did several fun activities.

The 5 boys got to spend the night on an island in a large tee-pee. They biked all of their supplies over (using a bridge) and camped out for the night. The moms went to check on them and were more scared than the boys!

The girls got cute Rebecca hairdos. Running in the dirt and eating smores were favorites.

BFF Up and down the slip n slide we went, eventually making trains and riding on laps and backs to enhance the fun.
