Hiking and Biking

The last two weekends have been beautiful! Yesterday it was almost hot. I even got a little sunburn. So we spent the days outside exploring this beautiful place we live in.
Two weeks ago we went for a hike. At thanksgiving one clue for a scavenger hunt was hidden by a pond. It looked like the canyon behind the pond went up a ways and I wanted to come back and explore it. IT WAS AWESOME! The girls were great hikers and even though there was a good view of town it was high enough up that we couldn't hear the noise etc...
Yesterday we decided to bike a trail that is only about 7 1/2 miles but it is up and down and up and down. It was so much fun. Half way through, during a bumpy part, I looked back to check on Jocelyn in the trailer. (didn't want to do a bobble head on my baby) and Taryn was sitting her with her arm around Jocelyn's shoulders holding her. What a good sister. Cami and Taryn took turns riding the bike attachment thing on Brent's bike and hanging out in the trailer with Jocelyn. We stopped along the way to show the girls where we got engaged and it was fun to remember...
Anyway here are some pictures because I went a little crazy taking them....

Taryn with Brent
Stopping at our spot... how could I say no? Obviously I couldn't and boy am I glad!
Sister love - and yes I know we need to get Jocelyn a helmet of her own...
Cami with Brent
Cami kept calling herself and Taryn little mountain goats...I guess that's a compliment right?
I said "Hey Cam smile so I can take your picture"...She said "Mom this is my thoughtful pose. Take a picture of this."
Taryn warming up on the rocks...Yes they were twiners for the day except Taryn wore a dress underneath of course...
We had to stop and take pictures at every rock that had a hole in it...there were many....
The girls checking out the view and Jocelyn snoozing peacefully....
Again the mountain goats...
Look! We found something green in the desert!

what a fun trip! I miss the mountains - there are absolutely none in MI! The kids throw their hands up in the air for the overpass to the freeway like it's a hill and I laugh because that is the only hill they will ever know in this flat place! Miss ya!

Love the pajama and rocker stories! We are usually wrestling on the floor and end up in tears, maybe I will suggest rockin out next time! I wish we were there to hike and bike already! It snowed here on Monday!

Yes thoughtful looks are always the best photos :) That cracked me up. Glad to see you have some rocker genes being passed down :)
