More rain
We're up to almost 6 inches of rain in the past 5 days and we had a record low barometer reading for the Los Angeles area yesterday.

Rock Wall Climbing--Camp Whittle
As we showed up to the climbing wall, two girls (perhaps a bit older than the boys) climbed to the top of the wall with ease and rang "THE BELL"...."No problem" thought the boys...none of them made it on their first attempt.

Chow Time--Camp Whittle
Meals at Camp Whittle were a good time. It gave us all a chance to sit and chat about our plans and adventures. Nothing like camping and having your food prepared for you!


Can you say "Self Photo"?

These things were everywhere in the dining hall...30 to 40 is a conservative guess. They were serious about germ control!!!

Camp Whittle
Camp Whittle 2010 was a complete success!!! We had an absolute blast. The group of guys in our tribe were great and the kids got along perfectly. We arrived at night, making finding our cabin a practical exercise in night land navigation. The camp took care of all meals and activities (though we added a few supplements to both...I will expound in other posts). All-in-all a great time with Shane.

The Novelty of Rain
It was raining yesterday when the kids got up. So at 7am they put their rainboots on, got some umbrellas and played outside for 2 1/2 hours. They made an umbrella fort, swang on the swings and did a little trampolining (if that is a word) in the backyard. The umbrellas were never used as they were meant too and by 9:30 i had 2 drowned rats at my door. That's when i should have taken their pictures, darn it!

Zipline
A little zipline action, Hailey likes to spin in circles and Shane likes to go upside down now. Always something new.
5 Days in a Row

We have gone to the park everyday this week since Shane learned to ride a bike, that is all he wants to do. So far he has attempted to go head on with a pole, picnic table and tree without any victories. He thinks it's funny and i just cringe at the sight. Hailey thinks it's hilarous, i haven't seen her laugh that hard in a long time. No injuries yet!

Sledding by Baby Steps
Shane and Hailey got 2 sleds for Xmas. We started out in the backyard going down the grass, which they thought was fun.




Then we took it to another level and went to a preschool that had snow day and did some sledding there. Next weekend Jesse and Shane will be camping out in Big Bear with Indian Guides, Shane will finally get to do the real thing!
