Labor Day
Monday we headed for Bennet Spring State Park. We walked around the fish hatcheries. It's great how kids make everything more fun. Normally a fish hatchery wouldn't do much for me, but it was fun to see them so excited about all the 'pretty' fish.

Fishing is HUGE around here. All the good spots were taken so the boys still didn't catch anything but luckily they still have fun casting.



A little picnic is always a good idea


This was a sad day for Emma. She was just sad all day pretty much except when we were chasing a grasshopper. She just needed her Dad.

Hiking twin Shakespear style. No kid backpacks for us, just muscles (at least Jeremy has some)


This little day trip reminded me of how great it is to get out in nature. (Duh!) I always feel happier, more peaceful & calmer when we do & we really need to do things like this more often. It's just been kinda tricky with those two babies :) It reminds me of the few times my Dad, brothers & I went camping, when we went to the coast growing up, the one great time I went snow camping with the Bentley's & some other girls, tracting in the countryside of Charlottesville, going to the sandunes & four wheeling at Ricks College, & all the playing & camping in the canyons in Utah. All happy times!

It is tricky with two babies! I have been wanting to hike doughnut falls which is a pretty kid friendly hike but how? I do have one back pack and I thought maybe I could do a carrier on the other one... There are just more complications to two babies than anyone realizes!

What a great time outdoors! We need to get out more often too. Though it seems like you all go on lots of adventures!!!

Looks like the weather has cooled somewhat-the kids have on sweatshirts!! Sorry about Emma,(maybe she's like her Darlin' who doesn't like camping either). Just missed a picture of our Meg. Glad you had fun and were FINALLY able to get outside for some fun!!
