this past week

This last week Grammi, Shannon, her kids and mine, and I went for hike. And what a hike it was!! The older kids did great! We went up a chair lift to get to the top of the trail and then we hiked out to a waterfall and then back down to where our cars were. It was definitely an experience and we've got the blisters and bruises to prove it.

This is what Lilly did the entire time... cry and whine (it was not a hike meant for a 2 year old).

Almost back to the car. ( i set the camera on a timer but it went off before we were ready)
The next day we went up to Patrick's mom's to help her scrape off some paint and tape off her house so it can be painted. It proved to be quite the task.

Kailey, Lilly, and Kaitlynn enjoyed playing outside though

The hike was fun and the waterfall was beautiful!
The taping was definitely a job and a day to remember. I for one am very glad that it is mostly done!

I am in awe that you guys are wearing sweaters in one of the pictures. That is only something I could dream of in the middle of summer here. :)

ya it dropped to low 70's that day and we were in the mountains. now we are back to mid 90's (although i'm sure 90's would feel good to you right now too)
