Circle Park hike

We did a couple of hikes on our camping weekend. This was on Memorial Day...a hike of about 4 miles, maybe 5. It was lovely. Everything is so green right now as we've had so much rain. The wildflowers were in bloom...lupine, and ...all the others I don't know the names of! I was going to try sounding knowledgeable, but I simply don't know what the flowers are.

(Ask for help, Darla. It's your homework for the week to ask for help.) OK, OK...What is this wildflower?

Jonathan enjoyed being in the backpack, but did hike about 1/2 mile. He did really well, except he doesn't drink water when we tell him to. Does anyone know if anyone makes a child size Camelback? I haven't taken the time to look yet...

Annisia rode in the front pack which was great for getting a nap. However, when I turn her around, her center of gravity shifts and makes it hard to hike with her in front. SO! I think we'll be getting another backpack. Bella, our dog, enjoyed the outdoors too!

There's our truck and trailer in the aspen grove at the center of the photo. This is about mid way on our hike.
We got back to the trailer around 2pm and made some lunch. Jonathan didn't really want to eat, just sleep. He felt pretty warm to the touch at that time. We packed up and came home arriving around 5pm. That evening we all took a hot tub together and we checked Jonathan's temp. It was around 102. That night, he came into our room around 2pm, burning up. His temp was 104.5 I think. Michael felt like he was headed for another seizure, but he didn't actually have one. He ran a temp, 103.5 average, all day Tuesday, with no other symptoms again. Wednesday, he had some tummy trouble and rested a lot. By Thursday, he was fine.

Hi Darla! It was great to meet you this weekend and the kiddos, too! It makes it more fun to check out your blog! Hopefully we get to visit again sometime...we all know that MUCH visiting with one person usually doesn't happen at convention. There's too many people to see! :)

Feel free to check out my blog at www.wiscogal.blogspot.com Monique & I posted recently about our trip to Dagmar and your hubby even got his pic on the blog! :) Talk to you later!
