“Don’t look down ‘ was the advice the Ranger gave us. He also said the ruins were created by Aliens and some of the sections were used for prisons. This bear was on the road at 2AM. We watched him for about 15 minutes before he ran into the woods.

The ladders. Someone needs to bring in a bunch of spider monkeys and see how much fun they have.

Glad they finally had some supporting structures to ease my mind when following a speedy 3 year old.

Did I mention the attention span of Ezra. At this point he was being entertained by a young student from France who was making faces and Ezra was imitating. Obviously, the French have a small attention span as well.

The 32 foot laddder. Not recommend for young children. Viena did spectacular. Dwana did great. Ezra was wonderful. I was a wreck, especially up 25 feet following behind Ezra and Ezra moving fast – just like the monkeybars. My heartrate was about 120 bpm after climbing the ladder.

The tour last about an hour. Ezra’s attention span was about a minute.

Ezra had a great day. Ezra really grew up today. All that playground monkeybar experience came in handy today.
