Lord of the Flies?

We had a great time on Friday exploring Roberts Regional Recreation Area up in the Oakland hills with our friends Mick and Ian. There was an amazing playground and a redwood grove that provided endless opportunities to explore, look for bears, and "hunt" with bows and arrows (???!!!). I'm the mother of two boys, so I guess I better get used to this sort of thing, but it was unsettling to see Max wave his bow around and make gunfire noises.

Sigh...
