Horse Pens 40

Last Friday and Saturday the rain was really coming down (a lot like this Friday and Saturday!) So when we saw the sunshine through our windows Sunday morning, we knew we just had to get out in it. Daddy suggested we take the girls "hiking" somewhere. We knew they would love it. Horse Pens 40 is less than 20 minutes from the house and 3 out of 4 of us had never been there, so that's where we headed. The landscape is covered with HUGE boulders, with neat little places to crawl through, over and around. It has to be God's idea of a playground created for us to enjoy. The girls had a blast and we all decided (even though it was slightly on the cold side, check out the picture of the icicles) it was wonderful  just to be outside! We all have Spring Fever over here if you can't tell.

Daddy helping Little Bit climb down.

The Prissy Princess did a great job climbing.

Daddy taught her a few techniques and she was on her way!

Daddy explaining "if you step here on this slick pile of leaves,

you will fall down the front of the rock."

Here's the rock he was talking about falling down!!

It would be a long way down!

A little closer view.

The Prissy Princess doing her best Bear Grylls impression.

Little Bit was doing great, but Daddy decided it would be easier

just to carry her up this big hill. (I think she enjoyed not having to walk for a minute.)

They loved trying to "squeeze" through the rocks.

Little Bit loved this one, it was just her size.

 

Okay, I know this shot is a cheesy, but I couldn't resist.

They are holding up the rock so it doesn't roll away!
