Cousins and Easter adventures

This weekend I am home in Stouffville, which has been so great. Today our cousins came over and as usual, the 7 of us went on some form of adventure involving exploring new territory...ask me about past adventures of this kind if you are interested!
This time it was to see Matt's tree fort in the forest.

We ventured across perilous creeks....

Clambered over wobbly branches....

and much more, until we finally arrived at the spot.

...only to find a scene of brutal vandalism.
The couch which Matt and his friends had so laboriously carried through the forest was burnt.

The wall they had constructed was torn down....

How can people be so cruel? Seriously I could write a whole blog about mean kids who like to be destructive, but that would spoil the mood..
We still managed to have fun though, by taking a large piece of rope deeper into the forest and creating a tarzan swing over the river...

Of course Sarah fell in, as did Matt, after acting all cocky and trying to push the rest of us down.....sucker.
The other cool part was finding a "shoe tree" in the middle of the forest...check it out!
