  How to make an inexpensive do-it-yourself ribbon display for your kid's room. My son takes swim lessons and has been in the pool since he was a one year old. He enjoys it and always looks forward to the next time he has a lesson. Now that he is no longer in the water babies class he is going to start collecting ribbons each time his instructors move him to the next level. I want to use these ribbons as decor for his new big boy room so created an easy to make mini display that can grow with him over the coming years. For this activity you will need: Cork board - Square or long strips depending on the style you want to accomplish. I purchased this pack of cork wall tiles from OfficeMax.

We went to Big Basin last October (2016) and worked our way through the Berry Creek Loop which is a 10 mile trip on foot. Except for one member of our group who was joining us from San Jose, we carpooled there because it was a one and a half hour trip just to get there from the East Bay. Part of the mountainous road is very twisty and curvy so be prepared if nausea is an issue. We parked at headquarters so there was a $10 fee (bring cash) to park there but worth it after a 10 mile hike through the woods. Come here after a good rainy season to see the waterfalls. There are many large and small waterfalls throughout the Berry Loop. One can also cam
