On our way up to the trail head we saw two dogsled teams!
All smiles from Oliver!
Here we go!
This hike was more of a west-side hike... more wet stuff. Mushrooms, moss, etc.
Kent at the trail head with all the fall colors!
Brooke tried on her daddy's hat!
Reflections in the water.
I got to carry all of Oliver's 18-19 pounds up the trail! A really good exercise! As we hiked up the trail Kent and I used a "Dora sequence" (an educational tool that we got from the Dora the Explorer shows) to get Brooke through a slightly grumpy time. We repeated, "Stream, hill, Heather Lake!" so she understood the sequence of events and knew what to look forward to. Brooke said right back, "Daddy's car, Mommy's house, WATCH DORA!" What a funny little girl!
We had a yummy lunch on the warm rocks by the lake.
Brooke thought it would be fun to try the outdoor potty... so she pulled her pants down! Nothing happened, as usual!
Brooke said this was a "tiny" mushroom. We'll have to work on that! Brooke had the best time playing in the woods at the lake. There were so many nice flat areas to run around and explore.
Kent and Brooke checked out the log jam.
Oliver and Kent taking a short break before heading back on the trail.
Our family!
