Camping with Quinton

Quinton and dad went hammock camping. We had to take hotdogs (Q can eat 8 in a setting if not supervised). We drove up Providence Canyon and hiked for a while (to test our backpacks) but had to set up camp next to the van (or we might forget where it is an never! Go! Home!)

Morning Hike

I worked late most days this week so I could take a 2 hour hike up the mountain behind our house (30Oct15).

Our neighborhood, with our house slightly right of center.

Another view of the neighborhood.

Morning fog blanketing the valley.

The Wellsville Mountains with the valley covered in fog. A south-to-north wind kept filling the valley, while east-to-west winds through the canyons would push finger-gaps into the fog bank.

I came come in via the bottom of a draw, and it was like walking an empty creek bed.

Lagoon

Dad took his girls to Lagoon to ride the roller coasters. It was close enough to Halloween that we had a few spooky photo ops. We found that Rattlesnake Rapids had no line, so we ended with three fast runs there but were too wet to stay. It was a fun day. 

Chayce was a little too excited about the opportunity to "electrocute" Payge.

The new Cannibal roller coaster. We rode it first so that anyone that became squeamish could be told we went on the scariest ride first.  

Waiting in line. Once the girls learned there were lines, they weren't as excited to be there.

The force is strong with this one.

There were two trick or treat lines that Payge was still young enough to go through, and Chayce was allowed to go through with her.

Soggy after three turns on Rattlesnake Rapids.

Hiking

Quinton wanted to climb the mountain. But he is easily distracted, so I put him in the stroller until we got to the base, carrying Lillyth in the wrap. 

Going up the deer trail.

We got tired quick, but had fun.

Lillyth was not a huge fan of hiking in the wrap, but was a good trooper.

On the way home, Quinton demand that I take a picture of him standing on this rock at a neighbor's property.

After getting home, Lillyth wanted to go walking, and dirty feet ensued.

Another day, at the park. She thinks she's so big. 

Deer season. Zachary came out with me one morning. We saw several does, but no bucks. Just for fun, we shot a rock on the other side of the draw.
