I'm finally getting around to posting some pics of our camping trip last weekend. We had a blast!! On Saturday the highlight of the day was our hike we went on. Trent told Maddie that he was going to catch her a lizzard (I grimaced thinking that you can't tell a 4 yr. old something and not be able to follow up on it ). To my great amazement he caught one!! The kids just fell in love with it - they all took turns petting it and Maddie named it "Blinkie Eyes" because she thought it blinked a lot. We kept it with us until the day we left, and then we had a big freedom ceremony for the little guy. (I told Madds that the lizzard's mommy was sad and wanted him back home - worked like a charm!) On Sunday we went on a really BIG hike up to the top of one of the mountains and had a devotional there on patience. It was just beautiful up there and the view was fantastic! The kids only 1/2 way listened because they were cold - you'll notice in the pics that Jax didn't even bring his jacket (although he was told many times to do so.) I'm so glad to be able to get new pics - we are only borrowing this camera until I can get a new one - but it sure does great. I'll post some new pics soon on Piercen's graduation from 6th grade (sniff, sniff!!) I can't belief he is getting so big so fast!! Anyway that's for another post!! :)
I love camping! Looks like you had a lot of fun. Catching a lizard sounds like something Matt would do too. What a great idea it was for your family to do a divotional in the mountains. I love that idea. I think the mountains are such a beautiful and spiritual place.
