O’Neill Campout

Jake and the twins embarked on yet another fun campout with our local Adventure Guides group, with the Rainbow Sky Expedition. The twins are in the Pink Panthers circle and look forward to their daddy daughter camping time! This campout was just a few minute away at O’Neill regional park, so because it was so close, Meredith joined for a day and I picked her up at night.
The dads in this group are pretty impressive creative planners and the theme for camp was “Role Reversal”.  It started off with the girls getting to sit in Jake’s lap as they helped park the car into the campsite.
Their favorite activity was the Bippity Daddy Boutique – where dads had a spa day and then walked the Runway in their beautiful makeup and nail polish. The twins won for best makeover!
Scary.
Another activity was “End of our Rope” – a chance for daughters to lead their blindfolded dads through a crazy rope course, connected by a piece of rope the girls got to make.
There was also “Daughters Save the Dads” – a challenging set of puzzles needed to be solved to keep dads from going in the stream.
The girls also like the scavenger hunt with riddles to solve along the way and the game of Giant Twister. They also always love to sit around and play Uno with the other girls, climb trees, and go exploring.
They were excited about finding a huge toad!
Finding some interesting bugs.
    
This looks like something out of a horror show.
The campfire is always a blast and the girls’ skit was really cute!

Moana sing-along!

 

The girls can’t wait until the next campout!

Lots of love,

San Mateo Camp Out

For their second camp out with the Rainbow Sky Expedition, the girls and the rest of the dads and daughters in their Pink Panthers troop camped out in San Mateo. I’m not sure how well Jake slept, but the girls had a blast!

Recap of their campout created by one of the dads:

Night One: Uno in the tent.

Up at the crack of dawn for homemade donuts.

Only dads would think of bringing a football-themed photo backdrop.

Since San Mateo is not far from us, I dropped Meredith off for the day. She’s technically too young to join the troop, but was fine for the day part. Meredith loved her camping experience, although the twins were not happy about little sis crashing their daddy-twin time! Meredith joined just in time for their hike to San Onofre beach where they collected sea shells.

Taking over the campout, Meredith style.

Meredith invasion!

Building a fire.

Apparently, Jake advised the twins to run up and grab a ball first, instead of hanging back during their first game of dodge ball. It didn’t end well.

We really need these giant boxing gloves at home for the girls to get their rage out.

Let the Tug of War begin.

Warming by the fire.

At night, I picked Meredith up to go home while all the troops had a dance party and performed a skit. The twins received roses for being the newest members of the Pink Panthers.

Jumping beans!

Still obsessed with the boxing gloves…

Lots of love,
