Default Blast from the past with my two younger daughters

The first two shots were taken a while back at the UK arboretum....They had just put a good bit of wood out on the field and a couple of them were monstrous! They came out of the Daniel Boone Forest I believe. Then they drove tree trunks into the ground in a circle to create a jumping exercise. The 2nd captures this. Mandy and Lisa had a great time hopping from log to log and climbing on the various wood structures out there.
