Don't they look ready to start the hike? Mountain trails here we come!

We stopped to gaze at the beautiful mountain lake.

The girls posed for a quick picture...

before attempting the old phrase "go jump in the lake."

Some people need more help to jump in the lake than others.

My son, attempting to prove he could be a drama king, shows us how vampires react to sunlight.

Strangely, I think the kids might have accidentally enjoyed themselves!

I read the words hike through the woods and couldn't stop myself from singing lions and tigers and bears, oh my. Seriously a lovely post, I adored that last photograph.
ReplyDeleteLove how your kids always moan about the trips you take them on, then wind up having a great time! And yes, your son is very dramatic with his vampire recreation! Looks like you all had a great time! :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like everyone had a super time!
ReplyDeleteLooks like my kinda trip. Beautiful lake!
ReplyDeleteAww. Fun trip. Something my daughter and I would have enjoyed with them. Have a happy summer.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place! We have the State Forest back up to our backyard and have about 12,000+ acrs to hike around in (which we do A LOT) The Pocono Mountains are awesome.
ReplyDeleteThey have way more fun than they'll ever let you know! Looks beautiful.

ReplyDeleteGreat post, I remember dragging my son out on a hike too. I enjoyed your photos!
ReplyDeleteI think I would enjoy a hike like this too compared to sitting in front of the computer. A lot of children these days are getting too high a dose on computer and electronic games. Glad that they accidentally enjoyed themselves. :)
