The start of our 2 mile hike.
It was a beautiful day, and spot. Even though I froze my butt off and got almost no sleep last night, today warmed up nicely...with a couple layers on.
My munchkins were troopers, Jericho got just a touch tired at the very end of the 2 miles. Way to go guys!
6 out of our group of 9 kids, the other 3 went fishing instead of hiking with us.
The girls...such good friends.
Lots of "tight rope" walking, this helped slow the pace, good thing...Bella the Frenchie might not have made it otherwise LOL.
So pretty!
The kids noticed a dead fish.
Moving on.
A helping hand.
Mt. Hood had a little cloud cover today, darn it.
We tried not to disturb the people fishing, though that is not 100% possible when you walk by with 6 kids who talk pretty loudly about everything they are seeing LOL.
They saw a crawdad in there.
This duck was following Haddie for peanuts.
It is hard to tell the height in some of the forest pics, but this log was a good 6 feet up in the air. Jason walked everyone into position for a group photo.
Cute bunch eh?!
Hayden and Lily asked me to take their "I'm on top of the world" picture LOL silly girls.
The boys wanted turns hanging from this log.
Marching on.
Cute little flower.
A gust of wind, or something, blew these three trees over.
Little Man burned off a lot of energy today!
This tree grew with a little curve to it...made an enticing seat.
The trio enjoyed walking Bella...this of course got them thinking about, and missing, Gangster. Wish you could have been here with us G.
We got back to camp just in time to roast some hot dogs for lunch.
After lunch we headed out to let the kids do some "fishing"...really just put poles in the water and practice, but it was good enough for the littles. This dude was drunk and totally passed out with his dog watching over him. We noticed him right away but when his head fell into the water and his dog sat on it we had to help get him out of there and find his "friends" to take him back to their camp. Poor guy is going to feel like crap tomorrow LOL.
Everyone had fun attempting to fish.
The real fun came when the kids started finding frogs! Yes, if you notice all the pics of me are black and white...it helps us old ladies without make up look just a little less craptastic LOL. At least I think so, if you don't agree...keep it to yourself.
Hayden was all about the little things.
Lily was a little unsure at first.
After a few seconds she was cool with the little green dude.
Xan was a little freaked out by him, he preferred to chill and look out at the lake.
The kids put on a couple little skits while we waited for dinner.
Pretty funny stuff.
One more night of making s'mores.
I am sleeping in 3 pairs of pants, 3 shirts and a hoodie...I better not freeze tonight.
A little funny from last night. It was pitch black out, I was feeling Jericho (who slept between Jason and I) to see if he was warm enough. I must have woke him, he sat bolt upright smacked at my hands and said "Keep your hands to yourself", I told him it was Momma then I got a kiss and hug LOL.
