A Jungle Adventure

While cooking dinner tonight, Logan informed me that he wanted to go on an 'Adventure.' He had already packed his backpack and was ready to go. I told him to grab his adventure hat (having no clue which of his hats he'd grab) and decided that dinner could wait.


Initially, he looked at me, assuming I should know, that we would need to go outside for the adventure. Duh. So out we headed into the 100 degree heat on an 'Adventure.' He started out walking through the jungle (yes, the photo above is the jungle he so courageously trudged through).


I was then told to 'get rope.' I decided that the twine I use for gardening would have to work since it's what I had handy.


We needed the rope to climb the tree. Yes, Logan said to me, 'Use rope. Climb tree. On jungle adventure.'


So we tried to make it work.


But as you can imagine, climbing a tree, with no low climbing branches and with a very skinny piece of twine just doesn't work out so well. Logan was a bit disappointed but we agreed he would head to the park to find some trees to climb with Dad tomorrow - he seemed happy with that, and overall had a pretty adventurous 'Adventure.'
