Left home at 6:00 AM for an adventure today. Taking the sixteen year old and her two best friends over the mountains to ski/tube at Pearrygin for the day - yes, I said day!
This is what the back seat of the pick up looked like with Danger, the sixteen year old and Frodo, Steph and Luna, her pillow pet who is off-camera at this moment.
I cannot tell you how fun and crazy these two are together.
We enjoyed several stops along the way, and the big guy even found some signs to read *sigh*
There were rocks to climb - crazy children...
and amazing lakes to gaze at.
This is Diablo lake and dam. We even saw the tour boat making it's way across the lake...and once again the big guy and I commented that we really should take that tour sometime again. Btw we've said that every time we've gone thru here since we've been married. We really should sometime.
The big guy got this quite sweet shot of his truck and boat.
Sometimes creation just shouts Jesus, doesn't it!
After a quick stop in Winthrop for some nourishment we made it to the lake around 11:00. I took these two shots with the long range lens of my camera from shore. Honestly I just hoped this was our boat...haha, and it was!
Ty was a great sport and in no time was up on a kneeboard.
Steph and Ty ready to tube.
I so love Steph's free spirit - she's another "all in" girl like the sixteen year old!
Kaely and Ty tubing.
Just a short break for more nourishment. Loved the Willow tree memory here so just had to capture that.
By 6:00 boats must be off the water so we pulled out, cleaned up...
...and headed in to Three Finger Jack's for dinner. The kids entertained themselves - and the others seated near us - by several games of ERS as we waited for our food.
My oh so pretty girl!
It was starting to get dark as we headed out of town and back over the mountain. But adventure was far from over when this luring mountain of snow taunted the children! Ok, I may have dared them a bit too!
The crazy children climbed the snow covered side of the mountain - the girls in their flip-flops! Kinda hard to see but Ty is up on the rocks.
Even the big guy had to show off his new wonder-hiking shoes and meet them up at the rock.
Our epic day ended with this glimpse of God's majesty, and then a lot of sleeping children and pillow pets in the backseat. When we got to Burlington the fireworks at Skagit Speedway began so we got to watch them while we drove back to L-town.
