Hike and Park fun at the coast

We went for a nice hike while on the coast 

We carried Mason and Corben on our backs

but they did enjoy a few running/walking moments

First part of the hike was flat 

The view...a lake below

Nonie and the kids happy to make it to the top

The hike got quite steep...well for lots of kids 

Corben hiking with Mommy and Mason on my back

Corben hiked almost the entire way down

We then stopped at a park for the kids to play

Eliana and Mason 

Mason loved the slide

(notice her hat is made for pigtails...thanks Nonie)

Climbing the spider web...without hesitation 

Both Mason and Corben climbing

Mason is a little competitive, so you see her foot on Corben's foot!

Soccer camp final practice

All the kids lining up for soccer practice.

Corben is 7th from the left with his green hat on....

probably the shortest kid! 

This week was game week.

So the kids were split into groups and played a game.

Corben started out well and ran towards the ball, but once he

noticed there was only one ball and many other kids were running to kick it, he just hung back and walked around.  He would run a little each time coach came by, but otherwise he just watched all the kids.
