We hit the trails first thing the next morning with
Jason, our hiking enthusiast (Justin, our senior hiking enthusiast had to work). Carly was more than happy to stay home
with Drew and Katie. I was excited
to hike up Rattlesnake Ledge again and hoped my Mom and Val would enjoy it as
well.
Jason spotted a huge woodpecker on the way up. My phone picture turned out horrible,
but trust me that’s a large bird perched on the side of the tree.
We managed to get a picture of the four of us at
the top, but I didn’t get anything of the pretty view. Probably cause I was ready to get off
the ledge after watching Val casually jump over a large pit which would have
sent him into the dark abyss of the earth’s core had he been unsuccessful.
When we got back to the house it was time for lunch
and naptime for Drew. The kids
were really excited to break out the ole slip-n-slide. Drew was thrilled to join them after his
nap and kept us entertained with the sheer joy he was experiencing.
When Justin got home we hit up the traditional
must-take-all-visitors to Ivar’s trip.
If I’m remembering correctly it was my Mom that brought it up and like
Justin would ever say no to eating dinner at his favorite fish-n-chips
restaurant.
(Carly
was at her first babysitting job this evening while Abigail was still at camp)
After dinner we introduced my Mom and Val to Costco
gelato – yum, yum and a killer deal – there would be more gelato runs in the
days ahead.
