Sunday drive

Yesterday after stake conference, we decided we could both use a little getaway/relaxation and the kids could both use naps, so we got in the car and went for a drive.  We drove up to Shaver Lake, more specifically Camp Chawanakee.  The gate into camp was locked, and none of the combos Doug tried worked, so we parked the car and took a little walk down to camp.  It was about a mile down (and then a mile back up, of course), but our little hikers did pretty good.  They both had short shoulder rides here and there, but they walked the majority of the way both directions.  It was a beautiful day, and much cooler than down in the valley.  As you can see, the kids actually wore sweaters!   It was a good way to spend our Sunday afternoon. 

Keilana is most always happy anywhere there's sand. . .she loves the sand.

A beautiful day!
They decided after touching the water with their fingers that mommy was right. . . it was too cold to touch any other body parts!
Dylan showing his true colors (and looking awfully pudgy.  I wonder if he's gonna have another growth spurt soon. . . . .)

Keilana and Daddy strolling through the sign for camp.  Doug worked up here (its a Boy Scout camp) several summers, as a wrangler, nature director, and commissioner in various years.
Dylan insisted on carrying the "backpack".  How lucky for him that my purse happened to match his outfit! :)
