Abby's senior picture, 12 years early.  Seriously, I could not get her to pose/smile any other way!

These beautiful trumpet flowers were everywhere.

A small (name unknown) creek.

Caleb & Abby amongst some seriously tall ferns.

Caleb working on getting us some firewood. 

Proud of a log he chopped.  

We had a great plan:  leave early Monday morning, set up camp, hike around, dinner, s'mores, relax, sleep out in nature, wake up, break camp and go on a nice 4 mile hike before heading home.  Well, we did the first 7 alright.  But as we were playing games around the camp fire, it started raining.  And it did not let up.  In fact, it got much heavier.  We woke around 4 to a tent that was starting to leak.  So, we broke camp, threw all the wet gear into the van and drove home.  Not exactly to plan, but as it turns out, it's a good thing it worked out that way.  Apparently the area we were in is having a problem with mountain goats.  The day we would have been hiking, a man was attacked by said goats, and ended up dying from his injuries.  I'll take a leaking tent any day!
