Nathaniel braved taking the three older boys on an overnight hiking trip for Spring Break. They went to Lower Lena Lake in the Olympic mountains, this is a shorter hiking trail so Jesse could go for the first time. All of them survived without too much injury and nobody fell in the water!
Just about to begin the 3.2 mile hike.
Joshua led the way of course.
Taking a break. Jonas asked to take a break almost every five minutes.
Campsite on the bluff overlooking the lake.
Joshua and Jonas enjoyed trying their hand at fishing. They got their April Fool's joke in for the day by pretending they had a fish on the line when they had nothing!
Dinner was roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. Breakfast was oatmeal and pie!
These photos made us smile and smile and smile! Those boys are so dang cute! And they are smiling in every photo! Memories like these are cement that hold the family together. Good job Nathaniel! Good job Laurie Beth (I'm sure you had to take care of all the dirty camping clothes)!
ReplyDeleteSara and I hiked this same trail with Dad when I was 14 or something like that...it was a lot of fun and beautiful! I'm impressed with Jesse, Jonas and Joshua!
