Memorial Day

This Memorial Day we took the kids hiking. They were very excited. They love the outdoors. The first trail we went on was way over grown and we got covered in ticks. Yuck!!! Thankfully it was a short trail and we redeemed the day by finding a much better trail that was very well taken care of and took us to a beautiful over sight a lake.

We found some pretty flowers along the way.


Paul and Jacob

Kansas is definitely flatter than I'm used to, but the sky is huge!


At the end of the trail we ended up here. It was gorgeous.


We followed a trail down to a ledge and the boys and I climbed down while Paul watched with Emma Grace.


They enjoyed throwing clumps of the clay in the water.


And we found this cool cave formed from the cliff eroding away under a tree. All the roots and everything were very neat.

Pretty sail boat.

After our trip we went home and grilled brats and hamburgers with some friends and then watched "Saving Private Ryan"
