Friday evening we joined some other families from our ward (church) at Ensign Ranch located in Cle Elum, Washington. We set up camp, and joined everyone for a bonfire and s'mores.
The next morning we awoke to the sound of rain on our tent. Thank goodness we put up the rain fly (which has pretty much been un-used up until this point). After breakfast the kiddos took turns giving/taking rides in the handcarts, and then Dave took the kiddos on a hike while I chatted with friends.
We then packed everyone up and drove towards the entrance (this place is huge..325 acres) and the kiddos all took turns riding the horses, a first experience for all of them.
Then we changed into swimsuits (except Natalie who is always prepared) and went tubing. The kiddos had so much fun, and I love all these great expressions!!
After tubing, we took out two canoes (you can guess who did all the work..mommy and daddy), and finished up our wonderful weekend at the ranch.
The kiddos can't wait to go back, and we look forward to an even longer camping adventure there next time.

That sounds like so much fun! Put that on my list...
ReplyDeleteHow fun! What were you guys tubing on? It looks like a big slip n slide.
ReplyDeleteIt was like a big slip 'n slide on a hillside with water continuously pouring on.
ReplyDeleteThe kiddos had to wear water shoes, because it was super slippery, but they had a blast, and because it wasn't too big, going up it was super easy. This kept them entertained for hours!!
oh man! so fun!!
