Day 5: More Fun!

Today Preston, Carissa, Mathew, Mark, David, and I went for a ride. We left Evelyn to play with the rest of cousins.

We stopped along the way to take some random pictures. Our favorite was the prairie dog pose.

Mathew and Mark snuck some pictures of their own in.

More prairie dogs.

I took the wheel for a while and had a great time, although we did not make it to our destination as soon as we would have with Dave driving.

We rode all the way up to Blue Lake at the top of the property again and spent some time hiking around and enjoying the grandure. Mathew and Mark did some fishing and Mark was able to catch a fish with out any bate whereas Mathew was not so lucky.

Preston and Carissa had a little miss hap while we were at the lake...they ran into a fallen tree. This resulted in the thumb throttle being riped off their bike so David had to ride it back alone, because it was a little tricky. This left Mathew, Mark, and I with the opportunity to spend some more quality time together. Mark drove Mathew took the middle and I got the back. It mad for an interesting ride but we all made it home in the end.

When we got back everyone was at the river playing on the zip line. Of corse Dave and I had to try it out.

David, a bit braver than I, tried the big zip line too.

Karen decided that the cold water would help heal her sore muscles from the previous days activities and this is how she utilized the river.

Her girls Jessie and Megan joined her for a bit.

Evelyn was a bit unsure of the COLD water in the beginning.

But if Daddy can bare it....



...So can she. It took a few attempts but in the end she was chattering and smiling.
