Zip Lines, BMX, and Male Bonding: The Mighty Tecolote

Steven getting ready to jump on the zip line

Doug took Steven and Sean out to East San Diego for a weekend of male bonding with the braves of The Mighty Tecolote Tribe.

Steven's zip line jump

Steven is technically out of Indian Guides this year, and they "bounce out" the braves after third grade, but Steven missed all last year's fun while he was getting chemo, so we're glad he's getting a chance to enjoy some of their activities this year.

Sean's zip line jump

Sean was too young, too short, and too light to participate in our Hawaiian zip line adventure 50 feet above the river last December, so he was thrilled to be able to participate this time.

Steven on the BMX track

There was biking on a BMX track, a treehouse, a 50-foot slide. The evening campfire which usually starts well before its dark, providing the maximum opportunity for the boys to play with the fire while the dads drink beer cook dinner.

Sean on the BMX track

This time, no one got burned, just a few scrapes from the BMX track, and they came home as usual, filthy and tired. And I got to sleep in till 11:00 am on Sunday, so I'm not complaining.
