We had a full weekend of exploring with the Fiedlers. We visited Garden Falls:
Had a picnic where the kids had a blast playing on the rocks:
And so did Robin and I:
It was my birthday on Saturday and I wanted to go down this rutted, red track we'd seen before south of Casper Mountain. Todd can't refuse me on my birthday so we did a little of what Andrew called "off-roading." It was his first time doing a little 4-wheeling and he loved it! On the way back, we saw this Big Fella who obviously wanted to cross but wouldn't due to the cattle guard. It's a good thing he couldn't as Mike marched right up to him to get this shot. He (the Big Fella, not Mike) very theatrically pawed the dirt (probably more in an effort to rid himself of several hundred flies than to scare Mike but the effect was pretty awe-inspiring to those of the wiser of us observing from the safety of the Big Blue Truck).
On Sunday we headed to the natural bridge for a day of picnicking and playing in the water. Andrew floated around the entire bend many times (that's him in the blue tube), and the kids really had fun splashing around.
We ended the day with a fantastic meal at Sanford's Grub and Pub where Mike found yet another Big Fella to photograph. See the kids on his feet?
Mike made it safely back to Peoria and will re-join us early next week. Have a great Tuesday!
