Ensign Ranch

If you click on the title, it should take you to the church page about this Ranch.

On friday, our family drove a couple of hours out to a town in the mountains called Cle Elum. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints owns a bit of land there called Ensign Ranch. Our ward had a camp out there. We borrowed a couple of tents from our young mens president (He slept on a hammock slung between two trees). This is the first camp out I've been on since I was in the young mens. In fact, I think that the last time I went camping, I went on a bicycle trip to Bush Gardens when I was 17, before we moved to Korea. Wow, that's about 10 years now. Any way, we had a great time. We had an open fire bbq, Argentina style, and every one had a great night. The next day, we went canoing around a lake, swimming and rope swinging into the same lake, and sliding down a giant water slide. We all had a really great time. Nicholas and Noah, surprisingly, didn't get burned, drowned or cut. Laura, Abuela and I, surprisingly, got good nights sleep on an air mattress and a stack of blankets.

Next time we go, We'll plan more time there. I'd like to: try out the climbing/repeling wall; either go horse back riding, or at least lead my kids around to let them ride; float down the river on an inner tube; spend alot more time swinging off the rope swing, swimming and going down the giant water slide(they call it a giant slip and slide[see last picture]).
