It was Joshua's first camping trip and
Christopher's third. We only stayed for one night to ensure that we would leave wanting to come back...Mission
Accomplished! We had a wonderful time. We hiked three trails totaling about 3 mi.
The two dinosaurs you see here were the toys of choice that went everywhere the boys went.
This was the boy's (including Steve) first
s'mores experience...they loved it! Steve crashed and burned his first set of
marshmallows...just imagine, a grown man, and never roasted
marshmallows before! What cave did you just crawl out of Steve?!
Look at this great family! On the top of the mountain...on top of the world!
This was the first bear sighting for all of us. In all of Steve's camping experience he has never witnessed a real bear encounter, much less a mama and two baby cubs! It was
truly amazingly cute!
Notice, the two dinosaurs noted earlier taking a cool dip in the stream are being toted on our last excursion, also the last documented sighting of the two beloved toys. Now the dinosaurs are
truly extinct! Not .30 mi. later we noticed that both of the
dinos went MIA. I had already back tracked once in a search and rescue mission to save one of them by the side of the trail. There was no hope this time. This trail was well traveled. Any attempts would be futile. I suppose that we cannot claim to have
abided by the old rule of "leave only footprints and take only memories". We left
dinos and took walking sticks.

the dinos are truly home in their native environment...looks like you guys had a great time..i am hoping to take the boys on their first camping trip soon...but probably no hiking since travis doesn't "walk around for no reason"
