Kristina's Here!!! And hiking and a skate park

As if Isla's life couldn't get any more exciting, ANOTHER new baby nephew showed up for her to hold.  Ok, so he's a little bit bigger than tiny Clark, but just as willing to be held.  
And even when she wasn't allowed to hold these cute boys she found a way to be with them.
Of course the big boys weren't impressed with yet another baby nephew so we had to go out and find some adventure.  Luckily just a short drive away is a fantastic mountain and really fun hikes.
And when you find a fallen tree long enough for everyone to sit on of course you need a picture.  L to R: Gpa. Pat, Isla, Gma. Tina, Kelli (Clark in pack), Ethan, Isaac, Kristina (Anderson in pack), and Miles.
The hike was almost straight up the mountainside and a little precarious with many dropoffs and railings.
And then it was down, down, down, and into a deep, dark cave.
Ok so it was only dark for part of the time.  Really it's a naturally formed cavern so dark in some parts but open in others.  Really amazing to see what nature creates.
Seriously amazing.
And the perfect hike for all these kiddos and babies in packs.
And for grandma's who love walking in freezing cold mountain rivers.
The obligatory snack time.
And the cuteness of stick dragging had to be documented again.
That was enough excitement for the littles but not the bigs so while they all napped the big boys went down the street to the neighborhood skate park.
Heaven. For. Little. Boys.



So much fun packed into each day.  And gorgeous sunsets to top it off.
