Good times at the Mtn
Friday night we went to the Mtn with Chad's and Brett's family. We had a great time, roasting hotdogs, pigging out and of course there were the smores that we ate too much of. That was little Lindy's first trip to the Mtn property...next year she will be making her parents extremely nervous as she tries to navigate uneven rocky ground while her parents hover and hope for no falls.
Emmy, who has been so excited to go to the mtn., was still so jazzed, way past her bedtime...that she kept popping up while Chad and Erica were trying to go to sleep, talking about it and how we could continue the fun in the morning. Cute little lady! I never saw such a cute and sticky little smore eater! Erica had the wipey ready to try to control the damages, so the pictures don't do it justice, but it was fun to watch. For those of you on Google+, you've already seen the pictures. Cool how it does that. For those of you sticks in the mud not on G+ yet, HERE ARE THE PICTURES
Brett and Katie brought up a fun new thing that we tried: Roasting bisquits on a stick! It was fun, and when you took them off the stick, you filled them with jam and whipped Cream and they were tasty too!
Sat. morning found us rock hunting for stepping stones for Chad's and Erica's yard. We found some good stones (we figured you guys could pick them up when you come today for dinner). And Kim worked at getting some of those benches ready to be of use. Erica and I tore out 1/2 of the old bench that we have been using for probably the last 20 years. Mostly rotten wood. I was able to get some of the messes cleaned up around camp too while Kim was gone to a water board mtg. It will be nice to have better benches and seating at the Mtn when Kim is done! Thanks honey. Good times. Which all of you could have been there...but we will be going up again soon!

We'd definitely go up to stay the night again this weekend too if they weren't putting the sod in the park across the street on Saturday morning (and we have Seven Peaks in the afternoon so we want Emmy to be well-rested). Oh, And thanks for the rocks! They'll look great when we have it all done. We still need more...little by little, right?
What if we had a "clean up the mountain" day where we all come prepared to do whatever you want us to do to help. Many hands make light work, right? I know Chad and I would be more than happy to help. We love it up there.
