Memorial Day 2012--Sunday

Sunday morning.
Hiking Mt. Charleston.
up to Mary Jane Falls.

little turkey. this is the face he gives me when i pulled out the camera.

and this is the happiness that his daddy brings out when he peeked in the van window.
....and he forgot the camera was still pointed at him. :)

hiking crew!

Wes works out with some of these people every morning. they decided that we need to get the spouses and kids together for activities. our first one is hiking.
Kristie & Mike with boys--Logan and Colton (yes! they have a Colton, too!) plus their friend.
Ryan & Kelly with daughter--Chandler
the other couple is friends of Ryan's and I forgot their name. Oops. :)

Colton HATED the backpack at first. Screamed and cried. Then we got to walking and he LOVED it. I knew he would if we could just get going!

the family who hikes together!

love.

at the top...Mary Jane Falls.
there was some water, even some snow! Colton wanted to run around...giving me a panic since it was a mountain, sloped, and thorny bushes everywhere. Poor baby just wanted to run off some energy!

the falls behind cutie pie Colton.

as soon as we started to descend, Colton was out!

slept all the way to the car.

Wes is amazing...carried Colton on his back all the waaaay uuuup and all the way down. Up was no easy feat! Working out so much definitely paid off.

what a perfect day!
new friends, God's creation, exercise!
later we had dinner with Michele and Ryan...she made paella...it. was. amazing!!!
with 8 days of teaching to go...this weekend was  a sweet treat of summer!
