This was one of the waterfalls we saw on the hike up to the lake.

Austin & Mason were trying to roll this tree trunk into the water--didn't have much luck.

Took a hike on Labor day--10+ miles round trip (going up almost 2000 feet in elevation--not flat by any means) to a secluded lake. Would have been a great lake to swim in except it was way tooooooo cold-although it was tempting. Saw some beautiful sights--next time we have to remember our fishing poles.

We took a quick family camping trip to help Porter get his Second Class rank advancement for scouts. Since he is the only boy in is group, he has moved quickly along. He is first class and already working on a merit badge and he won't be 12 until Nov. Great job.

His goal is to have his eagle by age 14. I am all for it--get it done and out of the way.
