Fun in the woods

Sunday afternoon was way to beautiful to stay inside so we went with my dad geo-caching. The kids had a great time and Jaren thoroughly enjoyed the muddy trails. We found out after hiking about 1/4 mile on a very muddy trail that it is important that the correct coordinates were entered...right Dad? :) Oh well, the extra hiking was good excercise for us.

Kurtis had never been to Big Rock Park before so of course we had to go and show him the fun of the big rock.

The kids had a great time going up and down the rock...only one minor slip which was quite impressive considering how muddy their shoes were.

Bethany had it easy between daddy and grandpa carrying her. The mud was quite difficult for her to try and get through without falling.

Jaren following the path. He loved to walk right down the middle of the path where the most mud was. He ended up having to strip down to his underwear in order to ride home in the van because he was so muddy.
