guess what she is doing?

The kids love to climb up all the huge boulders around the campground

in town

he does have eyes I promise. We cut around them so the poor dog could see.

This was our first hike together. Chris and Cooper had gone on one earlier in the day up to a fire tower. We had to drive down a closed dirt road to find this place.

the walk was half on a trail and half on a boardwalk.

Here is the end of the line. It was VERY quiet here.

It kind of freaked the kids out how eerily quiet it was.

Here is our second hike the next day. Rocky Mountain. It was only .6 miles, but it was tough. OK it was only tough for the sick mama. The kids, dad, and dog did great.

well worth it. Isn't is beautiful.

See that small island behind her?

look close...there is a house on it. The kids decided it would be so cool to have a house there.

I only had a small not so good camera so all the many pictures I took of the amazing view didn't turn out so well. I loved this one of them. They really enjoyed the view.

just as we were leaving this man came up and pulled out his binoculars and offered them to the kids. He was a brave soul! They were nice ones and with all the kids jumping saying I want a turn it freaked Chris and I out a bit. :) No harm done and they loved looking through them.

the ride home is always a quite one. Everyone is ready for a nap. I love it because then Chris and I get to just talk. No interruptions.

this shirt says it all!
