Porters fish.




We decided to try our luck at fishing at a near by pond. Mason gave up after 10 minutes. The others persisted. Austin and Porter both caught a few blue gills about the size of your hand. Conner had a baby trout but it got off the hook before we could bring it in.

This was a dam the kids made, trying to divert the water--it slowed the rush but didn't affect it too much--it also made a nice bridge to get to the other side.










This is the view from the top of the lookout before we went down.





The first part was easy--sit on your bottom and slide until you hit a tree or rock. Coming up was not so easy.




Our ending destination--a beautiful river with some small falls--more like big rapids.








Our Memorial day adventure. The hike we were going to take was still snowed in so we stopped at a look out point and decided to make our own trail. We could here a river down the mountain and decided to go find it.

We went exploring on Memorial day and found this river. Had a great

time trailblazing our way down to it.
