Los Colinas

Near the village of Chimaltenango the LDS church has a large piece of property that they purchased for scout camps, girls camps, and church retreats. I took the bigger kids there for an afternoon of fun and exploring. We had a great time and got really dirty!
The favorite exploration of the day was the rope climb. There was a rope that lead up a rock and we were up for the challenge. Austin and Kylie led the way, followed by Libby and then me. Ethan and Ellie stayed below to watch the backbacks and cameras!


Further down the trail was the wall climbs. Kylie and Austin raced up each side, and Kylie won each time! Must be the extra few inches of height.


Here's Ethan making his way across the rope walk. Ethan waited until we were all done and then he conquered it for himself. This is a big accomplishment because Ethan is afraid of heights. I was so proud of him for doing it!



All in all it was a great day spent with some crazy teens! I had a good time climbing, falling, swinging, and hiking all over the preserve with these guys. At the end of the day we were filthy and tired and hungry...so we headed back to the apartment to get cleaned up!
