View about halfway up of our 10 mile hike.
And back at home. I think everyone was a little tired. :)

Will and Natalie mini-vacation
Will and I went on our first trip by ourselves. Nathaniel had a great time staying with Mimi and Granddad and Aunt Hill and Uncle Shelby. Here are some shots from when Will and I went to the mountains (we were gone 2 nights).
And back at home. I think everyone was a little tired. :)

Red River Vacation Post 3
Our final day in Red River - we took Nathaniel to the kid's pond and let him fish for a bit. And much to my surprise, he caught his first fish! I sadly missed the actual "catching" of the fish as I had walked back to the cabin to put the dogs up. But I just missed it by a little bit. Nathaniel was excited to tell me all about it.He reeled it in and everything.
First fish!
Had to get a few shots in of the dogs.
Annie is a sun-bather. She is at her happiest when basking in the sun, as seen above.
Will and I got to go on a hike together that afternoon. There were several waterfalls along the trail, but they didn't show up too well in the pictures. Here are a few shots:
We hiked up to Middlefork lake. It was beautiful. Again, pictures do not do it justice.
Had to end with a shot of Nathaniel sitting in his chair next to Granddad. What a fantastic time. I think I have a few more pictures, will have to post them later.

Red River Vacation Post 2
Here are some shots from our second day in Red River. The cool mornings felt fantastic after the hot, humid Augusts that we are used to. We took Nathaniel to a playground around the block from our cabin, then packed our lunches and took Will's truck on the Old Red River Pass to see some beautiful scenery. This used to be the only way into Red River Valley. I can't imagine traveling on this winding, rocky road in a car (which my grandmother used to do with my mom and her brothers).
We took a different road on the way down. Once we got back to the main highway, we saw a baby bear scrambling back up the sharp incline! He realized as he got close to the cars and noise that this was not where he wanted to be! I tried to take a picture but fumbled the camera and he (or she) was gone.
Picnic at the top of the mountain! I love this shot.
