Climbing Trees

There is a grove of scrub oak trees at the base of rock canyon park.  We love this huge green space that employs are time while Katie dances.  These oak trees are perfect for learning to climb trees.  We love climbing trees... learning to balance, feel comfortable at new heights, and finding the perfect path up.  Sara may not be smiling, she gets frustrated and not being able to keep up with the older siblings, but by the end of the dance year all the kids were doing great.  We collected  the acorns last fall and made a cute felt acorn garland using the acorn caps.  The kids love looking for them each year.   The park has huge hills to roll down and run up. They are nice and tired by the end and I  get in a little extra exercise.  Win, win.
