Circle Park again!

Well, we found ourselves up at Circle Park again on the 8th of June. (Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!) We like this area because there are little hikes all over, and Jonathan can hike some with us. Annisia had a rough night, so we were still sleeping when Michael went out around sun-up for a little hike.

He walked from our campsite (note the white truck and camper in the center left) to the meadow (top center right). From there he looked around and saw this rock. So he ambled over and climbed up it. From the top, which is probably 100 feet above the surrounding land, he could see all around the area. He saw sign of elk by the little puddle of water. It must have been a cross between a mountain goat and an elk, I think!

I think Daddy feels a little like Lewis and Clark because he "discovered" this cool place!

Annisia got to ride in the backpack and Jonathan proved he is his father's son by clambering up the rock like a pro. It was incredible to watch. He scrambled up the boulders as fast as his little legs could take him, and Mommy scrambled up behind him praying!

Then we hiked around to the south of our campsite and at one point were rewarded with this gorgeous view.

I'm jealous.. we haven't gotten to go camping yet this year. but, we aren't as adventurous, and stay on flat land. What great views though. Janice
