A "Back to School" picnic...and a "Bear"

Isn't that pretty? I'm quite proud of this one! We had a lovely picnic up at Bogus Basin. It was our first...and I'm sorry to say MY last. While the scenery, company and food were FABULOUS...I cannot handle the drive up there EVER AGAIN. So, all y'all will have to take some good pictures next year and I'll watch the slide show after.
We had a nice hike...

and Travis and Cael took a nap...


In August Jonah also recieved his BEAR! Woot Woot! He got to drink the ceremonial "bear blood" a rite of passage he's been looking forward to for some time.


Then the boys got to set off the rockets they had made the week earlier. It was a great activity!
