We took another family day hike up into a canyon near Boulder. The first sign we came upon said WARNING: Mountain Lions. Okay - I'm not particularly fond of wildlife - it scares me to death, but I especially dislike wild cats (and domesticated ones as well!) So, we read the sign of what to do and what NOT to do and headed up the trail. The trail followed a dry creek which, in the summer, is full of cool, refreshing mountain water.
Drew stopped at each rock to pose for a picture - this is just one of MANY photos like this!I almost jumped off the trail in fright when I heard a squirrel chattering in a tree and Scott got a good laugh at that. Hey, in my defense, I don't know what a mountain lion sounds like and hope to never find out, but the chattering caught me off guard. Blake found a sharp stick and assured me I was safe with him - what a brave son I have!
Self portrait my Adyson & Mom!The kids had fun climbing on rocks and racing downtrail on the way back. I too had fun chasing kids and jumping from rock to rock across the stream (we were make-believing it was full of water). I'm excited to head back this summer and get my feet wet with the kids!
Blake's attempt at photography- this one won't be going out as our family Christmas photo, but not bad for a 4-year old!
