MAMA BEAR FAMILY REUNIONS

This was our first year starting "Mama Bear" Family Reunions. Really, any woman who has children can be called a "Mama Bear". With that thought in mind, we gathered our cubs together to spend time. Family reunions are about reconnecting families, enjoying great food, sharing experiences, laughter, fun and making memories together. This was a trip, we will soon not forget. We are hoping in the years to come, other family members will join us.

DAY 6 - July 8, 2018

Zip Lining & Cave Tubing

Again, we will be getting up at the crack of dawn, enjoying a quick breakfast and boarding a boat for the mainland. The boat ride will take about 1-1/2 hours. Once we arrive in Belize City, we will be boarding two (15-passenger mini vans), which will take us into the Belizean jungle to go zip lining and cave tubing. Here we will be given "gear to wear", helmets and tie down cords. You will need jean shorts, "T" shirt, tennis shoes, hat, sunglasses, camera sunscreen and bug spray. We will take a short hike into the jungle, climb a series of steps to reach to our first platform. There you will be tied to a steal cable, you will not be released from this cable until the tour ends. We will each individually zip line through the jungle tree tops (85 feet) in the air. Christina did this when she was 6 years old, and loved it. I plan on doing it myself (i have a fear of heights), so if I can do it, anybody can do it.

Next we will go to Ian Anderson's Cave Branch lodge. You will want to bring swim shoes for this adventure. Here we will be given giant inner-tubes, and instructed to take a short hike into the jungle, to reach the river's edge. You will be given a life jacket to wear. You will hop on your inner-tube and follow your guide, who will be taking you through a series of caves. The river is very calm, there is no rapids, so no need to worry about turbulent water. This is great fun, and I'm sure you'll love every minute of it. This is a full day tour, so everyone is going to be tired when we get back to the island. There will be a crock-pot dinner waiting for us when we get home.
