Kade had today off for the holiday weekend, so we decided to go and have a family fund day. We started off with a hike at Cress Creek up by Heise. It was a great day for a hike and the kids loved it. We looked for wild flowers and animal prints all along the hike.

Everybody dipped their hats in the creek to cool off their heads, but Brancyn was so mad that we dipped his so he wouldn't wear it anymore-little stinker, he was soooo hot after that.

Ahhhhh time to cool off!

After we finished our hike, we decided to head over to Elephant Rock near Heise to see if we could watch some people rock climb. While we were there, Kade started talking to some of the climbers and found out that one of the guys just went up there certain days of the week to offer his services as a rock climbing instructor and his gear for free. You can't get a better offer than that and decided to give it a try.

Kayson was the first brave one and did awesome.

Next was Liberty, look how high she got!


Brylee had fun, but wanted to hang on to her rope instead of the rock, so he mostly just got pulled up and then let back down again.

Kade decided to give it a try and got higher than any of us.


And last was me (Deidra) I definitely didn't get as high as Kade, but I still had a lot of fun trying.

After such a busy day and straining so many muscles, we were in serious need of some nourishment. We decided to end the day by trying out the new Picketts Bambino in town. If you have not yet had a chance to try these, GO TRY ONE!!!! They became an instant hit in our family. They are scones stuffed with different pizza, sandwich, or breakfast toppings and are sooooo good. I'm getting hungry just thinking about them.
