Corn maze and visitors

Grandma and Grandpa came for my birthday this year with Brock and Addy. We did the superhero run, saw the falls, played, and talked. For the record, I am wiser and not older.

Could life get anymore fun? Don't think so!

Dierke's Lake hike

 We've learned recently that we love to hike as a family. The kids love it and the older two are old enough to do the walking all on their own.  This is one of our favorite hikes in the area. It's a two mile hike around Dierkes Lake. I think it's beautiful. Thayne thinks it's nice in a dreary wilderness sort of way. :)

Jump!

and again.... I'm really bad at capturing an air shot

Tyson can usually be found way up ahead or off climbing on the rocks. 

When we get home, we crash and read a good book. Perfect ending.

balanced rock

We did a day hike to balanced rock one Saturday. So fun!

Tyson LOVES bouldering and rock climbing.
