Mountains Thanksgiving

November 25-29, 2009

Thanksgiving day; hike #1; to The Rocks

Delaney and Matt approaching the steep part of the climb

Lots of leaves so it's easy to fall

Getting steeper...

Here come Dave and Reagan

Yay, we made it to the top!

Mark and Beth enjoying a much-needed candy break

As are Delaney and Wes

Matt and Hope trying to find our house

the view

Digital zoom - ours is the one with the brown roof near the center

Dave and Reagan - hiking buddies

Erin and Matt

Heading down - perhaps harder than going up

Hope toasting a marshmallow

Mmmmm smores

Even Shirley makes a smore

Prepping for thanksgiving dinner

Grandma playing wii

Hike #2 - bottom of Rock Creek

Lots of rain, so it's hard to get across the river

Matt makes it easily then helps build a "bridge"

Erin and Delaney

Should we use the log? No...

Delaney bravely crosses Matt's "bridge"

Wes gets carried across

We made it!

Waving to those who didn't cross

Matt and Wes

Good view of the house from below

Matt chopping fire wood

Chicken and ribs, yum

Hike #3 - Brothers shot

Cooking hot dogs outside

Another hike with just Erin and Matt - awesome view

The lake in the distance

Erin and the view

Both of us
