On President's Day Colby's twin brother's, another brother's son and our family went on a wonderful hike to Switer Falls in the Angeles National Forest. We had so much fun on the trip. We left in the morning and arrived in time to have a picnic lunch before we started out on our jurney. The boys (not just the little ones) had a great time exploring the mountains. We had a few tree branch sword fights, threw a million rocks in the stream, brought a few home in our pockets, saw one squirrel and a few fish, and wadded in the stream. It was a perfect day for a hike and it was so much fun to be together as a family.

What an excited group of people.

Karley loved the hike. (maybe because she was on dad back most of the time.) She really loves to be outside.
See we don't need video games we can make our own fun!!
Oh, yes we stopped many times to throw rocks in the water. What is it about boys and rock? To them all rocks must be thrown in the water. If you look closely you can see the indention in the rock on the other side of the stream. The boys challenged each other to see who could get their rock in the whole first.

I thought I would add this picture from last week (ok two weekends ago) I'm not so good at keeping this current.

Looks like a fun day. I'm impressed that the kids made it through a four mile hike.
