Mountains

Heaven!!! For Jordan and I the day and night spent in the mountains hiking and camping were heaven. We love the fresh air, pine smell, mountain vistas, etc. We hiked about 2 1/2 miles the first afternoon and the next day we did around 5 miles. The boys are to young to do much hiking so we packed them on our shoulders as you will see below. They loved being outside and seeing all the wildlife.
Both boys fell asleep on the hike. We transfered them from our shoulders to our arms and continued on. Boy do they get heavy.


Up the trail we head.

Rosie loved being out also. She was everywhere, but also always in our sights. She is a great dog. She never strays to far.
Grandma put together Indian things for all the grand kids. Aren't our little Indians Cute.
What a handsome Guy!






Family photo. Not bad for holding the camera ourselves.



I put warmer clothes on the boys as night approached. Nathans coat had a hood and Derek's didn't. He was very upset. So, we came up with a solution. He got to wear moms shirt with a hood. Now he is "Little Red Riding Hood." He also loves to sword fight with stick and can often be found with a stick.

Looks like you had a great time hiking. The mountain pics are so nice. We miss the mountains too - if they could only grow a few in the Midwest I'd be happy!!:)
