We were obliged to be out of the house today so that Jodi, Lex and Lily could have their little pan party. I was also helping out with the River Rock Youth Triathlon out in Burton. Since we were so close the the Butte or "R" mountain we thought we would go explore it a bit. It was great, JT, Mason and Olivia climbed like mountain goats. They climbed the whole thing by themselves. JT loved picking up rocks and throwing them, Olivia loved looking at the brightly colored moss, and Mason was on the prowl for lizards and snakes. We saw about 6 of them but they were too quick today for us to catch. I got a kick out of JT as we started walking up the trail he kept saying, "snake, come here snake" he wanted to see some snakes.
As we were hiking back down grandpa called and said he was coming out too. That made us all excited so we hung out and watched for him to pull up. Then we hiked back to the top again and had some fun with grandpa. Good memories for all of us.
Priceless! |
