Outdoor Club

This summer we joined some friends from the kids school in an outdoor club. We have met several times at a park to play: 

We have done some hikes, including hiking Horsetooth Falls with a park ranger.

 The ranger showed the kids all sorts of interesting things including the fact that some trees smell like vanilla

 Once we reached the falls the kids got to play in the water

Jack and I also helped one day with a volunteer group to restore an archery range. It was 4 hours of hard work clearing brush. 

 This was our area and by the time we were finished all this brush was gone.

Once all the volunteers finished, they let the kids practice archery on the newly restored ranges

Another weekend, Luke and Jack drove up to Breckenridge for another volunteer opportunity. This time they spent the weekend camping with other volunteers with a mission to connect a trail. The adults spent 2 days (8 hours a day) trail building, while a local science school took the kids all day on adventures. Everyone met up again at dinner time for camp food and fun. Luke and Jack both had a great time. Here are some pictures of Jack from his adventures with the science school
