Name Rock

At the first sign of Spring, my mom and dad took us on a hike to visit the name rock!  This is a rock wall in a dried up creek bed where people from as far back as 1850 carved their names.  You have to go early in the year and beat the rattle snakes out!  The weather was absolutely perfect and it was a trip my boys still talk about!  Of course we all carved our names and will be back to find them someday!


There was a little bit of water in the creek...


On the way back to the trucks, there were some cool old tree's so we stopped to take some pictures there too.  Jory had a lot of fun climbing around on the trees.


Notice:  no children were harmed during the taking of this picture!



Jia was getting tired and starting all of her 'girl drama'!  Daddy rescued her.


We stopped to take Jia's picture in front of this fallen tree...


She realized she had a little scratch on her thumb.
Wait a second....
Watch for it....
Ah, yes....
Here it is....


The crying.... again!
But isn't she adorable when she cries??


Jia and Grandma were so cute with their matching walking sticks!


Jia and Grandpa are #1!


What a fun day tromping in the woods!

Joy--Your parents are cool parents! I love the idea of the rock wall. Making your mark. That's what you are doing in your ministry...Joy, your "footprint" is making a difference.

Great photos too! Jia is soooo tiny! So beautiful.

Love,
Beth

What a great idea and fun for the kids to remember and later go looking back! It looks beautiful out there in the those woods.
