Picnic in the mountains

We finally decided to head up to the mountains for a picnic. It is sad to say but this was our first time this season even though we live so close by. The kids were so excited. As soon as we entered the canyon the temperature started dropping quickly and it was only 70 degrees. It was very pleasant.

We started by building a little fire so we could roast our hot dogs and brats.


I made sure everything was fully cooked so we only had to head it up. Made everything a lot easier and faster.

After dinner it was time for smores.

Elizabeth loved hers. Thomas got his all ready looked at it and decided he did't like it (without even trying).
Let me assure you that even though Emilie is in none of the pictures she was there with us. I had her in the carrier on my back. This was not quite the place for her to wander around with the fire and water around us.



After we finished eating we went to the water and let the kids play for a while. They loved throwing sticks and rocks in the water.

It was a very pleasant afternoon and we all enjoyed ourselves.
