Miss Smarty Pants

Abby with her Gold Eagle.

What is the criteria for getting a gold Eagle you may ask???

Why, I'll tell you.

You must have a GPA of 97% or above for the entire 7th grade year.

S0 yeah. We're just a little proud.

A labor day hike

This year we decided that we were going to hike on labor day instead of picnic

It was a capital idea. Although we weren't the only ones- it was pretty crowded.

We are always worried about this one when we hike- she's either happy (as above) or whiney and miserable.

The two explorers ready to start their adventure.

Pappa Bear, leading the way.

Caleb and Lilly with the falls behind them.

The boy at a lower falls.

She's still going strong! No whining yet.

Abby at the lower falls.

Here they are at the foot of the big falls

Funny thing about this tree. Jim took one look at it and saw a lounge chair.

Caleb on the other hand saw a snow speeder and proceeded to drive it.

This is the back portion of the falls trail.

Daddy and Lilly. She's still smiling!

I love this picture. :D

At this point we were only about an hour into the park and we already did the short trail.

So after some discussion, we decided that we were going to hike the long trail to the bridal veil falls. Even Lilly agreed.

This is the bridesmaid's falls (which was little more than a trickle), The kids are actually standing in the dried up water bed.

Looking down from the Bridesmaid falls to the bridal veil falls.
We didn't really get a picture of the brial veil. It was so dry you could barely see it.

Even so, we had a awesome time.



Even this one. There was not a whine out of her all day.

We'll make a hiker out of her yet.

Darth Caleb, Lord or the Dorks

For the record, I did not come up with this name on my own. It's all Caleb.

You see there are two things he is obsessed with the most:

1. Start Wars
2. Diary of a wimpy kid books
   

And when you mash those obsessions together,

This is what you get

Darth Caleb, Lord of the dorks.
