Camping with Daddy 2012

The kids were SO excited to camp at the Crags again this year, even without Charis and me.  Those dark clouds gave us a little scare, but they stayed dry enough.  Here's the highlights:

The view of the crags from the campsite

Warming their hands by the fire

Getting warm and dry, there was a little rain

Dad read Stuart Little to them

New concoction: S'mores pancakes.  If you see it making the rounds on food blogs, just know Scott invented it ;)

Same photo-op rock above the campsite

The view at the Crags

Made a new friend (by feeding it, tsk, tsk!)

All the hikers, another year stronger!

Jake climbing

Eden and Andrew climbing

This scares me a little- just how far away is Scott?!

And this too!  ...it is a pretty cool picture though

Hanging out in the 'cave' they discovered

Trail running- start 'em young!

Sunday Morning Surprise!

The kids and I were in the kitchen getting cereal out for breakfast early this morning, when I heard a LOUD whooshing sound.  This came down right over our house!  The passengers even waved at us when we came out to our back deck.  Of course I didn't get pictures until they were a little further from us (still REALLY close!)- crazy!
