We went to the mountains.

The trees were very big. We did a lot of upward gazing.

These guys are my favorite. 

Penny carried around that "hiking stick" all morning. She said she needed it.

At one point, Jeff and I looked ahead and saw our two big kids walking together like this and we felt warm and fuzzy all over.

Daddy and Jonas talked about life, nature, God, Star Wars...

Blue Steel. (And again, the stick.)

He was sword fighting. "For real." (That's his new catch-phrase.)

Yes, Karen/Eemo, the hat is too small. But it's so cute and handmade and I like to force my children into too-small clothes and accessories.

Arnold, CA, we'll be back soon! Please give us some snow next time. :)
