Going Ape in Thetford Forest

Thetford Forest is just a few minutes away from us, and last month Jake and Luke did the Jr. "Go Ape" course.  We spent the afternoon walking the trails and playing at the parks.  Found some blackberry bushes there too... with ripe berries.  Yum!  That was fun until Luke swallowed something that scratched his throat.  Here are some pics of our little adventure.  I'd like to do the adult Go Ape course with Jake sometime.  The Jr. course was fun for them, but the bigger adult zip line looks really fun!

Luke was super excited to do the course.  We thought he was going to do it on his own, but once he was all suited up and ready to go he realized he needed his dad to go with him.  Looked a little too scary to do it alone! 







 

The course took them about an hour to complete, and then they ended with a big zip line.  I got a few pics when Luke was whizzing by.  Some of Jake too.  haha.  Those crotch harness things look sick! 




Ella, Callie, and I hung out at the playground while the boys climbed.  Funky shadows, but I liked this pic of Ella.

What a fun day! I wonder how many of my kids would do that course? What an adventure!
