roughin' it

two weekends ago we spent a few days camping up in sequoia national park with our friends the vanden bergs and doornenbals. it was very relaxing, and we enjoyed spending time together, exploring the campground, sitting around the campfire, and playing games.

breakfast: scrambled eggs and sausage!

our humble abodes: doornenbals', vanden bergs' and housewards'

the boys found a piece of drift wood and created a game. each player had to defend their side of the river (there were only two places where the current went through). they each got five rocks that they could throw to alter the path of the wood.

  1. looks like a fun game...tho I'm not sure what the goal is...it seems that Ben lost that round...was he supposed to keep it from going past him?

  2. Right, there were two spots where the water went past a big rick. We each had 5 rocks to throw to try and get the piece of wood to go through the other's side.
