CBI had an outdoor, socially distant family program over the weekend to allow congregants to get outdoors and celebrate. It was a nice outing -- it took us about 45 minutes and we got to tromp around Camp Holiday Trails and visit different (no contact) stations to symbolically connect with each other and nature:
 |
| The first station was this bridge where we were asked to think of personal barriers and how we would confront them this year and then symbolically cross over. The kids both chose to run over. :) |
 |
| We had a map to help us keep track of the stations |
 |
| At the second station, we were each supposed to think of a specific compliment for each other person. I also took the opportunity to take little portraits of the kids under the tree |
 |
| After the third station (a tree house, where we were to meditate on nature), we took this trail to the other side of the lake. We were asked to collect pretty bits of nature off the ground as we went |
 |
| The second to last station was Tashlich, where you case your sins into the water. We've traditionally used bread crumbs for this, but the camp asked us to use pebbles instead, because the bread is actually not good for the animals |
 |
| We also spotted this bug that I have never seen before - it's a red velvet ant |
 |
| At the last station we made a nature mural with our goodies, but we also decided to take a picture with our matching Kindness shirts (seemed like a good theme for Rosh Hashanah) |
