Let's Take and Old Fashioned . . . Hike

The day started out cloudy with rain mists, disappointing since it was planned that we would go hiking that morning.  But God, in His great grace caused things to happen so that we were running about four hours late.  By the time we made it to the mountain, the skies had cleared and the air had warmed.  The day was the sunniest and clearest we had experienced for about a week.
This is a view from about three-quarters of the way up the mountain.  I didn't make it all the way to the top.
Instead I stayed and took this little group rock climbing on the outcropping where we stopped.  That was quite the exciting adventure.
Here is the view from the top of the rocks we climbed.

Heading down the rocks. He was a little trooper.  Even though he was scared he (literally) "grinned and bore it."
Little buddies.
Cheeeeeeeese!!

Everybody smile!
"Does your tummy hurt from hiking?" . . . "Yes." . . . "Mine too."
Look at the blueberries!
Yumm! Yumm!
Helping the littlest ones

A little river detour
Finally we made it back to the trailhead.

Wish I could of gone, it looks like fun. I know you planned it just so that I couldn't go though. ;)
