Our Vacation-Part 1

It's been so long since I have last posted that I probably have lost every reader that I ever have. I am finally home from my 3 week long vacation...well no, I take that back. Vacations are relaxing that often time that involve warm sand, little drinks with umbrellas in them and no whiney children. Mine was a trip with no dad which meant a lot of crying and whining and grandparents confused as to why they can't help. The bottom line is I don't like vacationing without dad. 

With that disclaimer aside, I will briefly share what we did. We started out the trip as I mention in a previous post at the cabin. Everyone had a grand time (there was little whining at this point). The weather couldn't have been better. We hiked, went on the four-wheelers and the mule. The kids did not want to leave. It was beautiful. Here are some pictures of the highlights. 

Jackson practicing is 4-wheeler skills. He loved riding them. 

Jackson and Grandpa were fortunate enough to see a black bear. 

Here was one of the signs warning that they were in the area.

Here is our happy family right before I took the kids on a

 little spin around the area. Everyone enjoyed it.

They got a little obsessed with it.

Morgan on the mule. We took many rides in this thing.

You can't be in the great outdoors without a little smores.

Enjoying the good stuff.
