One of the look out points during the hike.Today Shelley (Chad's sister), Paul (her husband) and I took a group of kiddos up the mountain. We had such a great time. We hiked up to the Timpagnogos Caves. If you have ever done it, you know that it's a pretty tough hike. Well worth it though. The kids had a ball. And of course, the weather was beautiful. Once you get to the top you have to put on sweatshirts because inside the cave it's about 40 degrees all of the time. But the hike on the way up is simply breath taking. It took us 60 minutes to hike up (with small breaks of course) and about 40 minutes to get down. (Well it actually took Tyler and I about 30 minutes down because he had to go potty.) It was a wonderful day and now the big question is if I will be able to get my body out of bed tomorrow. Wish me luck!!
Paul, Shellie and Cassie in our sweatshirts about to enter the cold cave We kind of look like we had some "happy drink" to get us up there.

Inside the cave

Tyler wanted to get up there quick. I am not kidding he practically ran the whole way. He is like the energizer bunny, he never stops. We finally got him to stop to take a quick drink.
Keslee helped Kalli up the trail. I was extremely nervous about the steep cliffs and edges. ( I am horrified of heights)

Sounds like fun! Thanks for taking my kids with you. They sure enjoyed it!
My dad, brother and I did that when I was 18 I will never forget it. A long hike but lots of fun.
Good for you. That looks like a lot of fun. Cute pictures too!
that looks amazing..what a pretty place to go..i am afraid of heights too, so i dont know how good i would do..looks fun though!!
OH WOW! How pretty and how fun...although the edge of that mountain reminded me of the time...do you remember when I had to back our van off the top of that mountain in Burbank with all of you kids in it...it makes my stomach sick thinking about it now...or the time driving home in the rain in the dark...so scary and we had to stop because I couldn't see the edge of the road on the mountains...I don't know that picture sure triggered some scary thoughts and gave me the heebie jeebies!!!!!
how fun! it looks like it was a success. i remember hiking timp and wondering why everyone had sweatshirts in such nice warm weather. we understood once got inside! it's cool you have that close to you. good luck getting outta bed. :)
What a great time! Your kids are lucky they have such a nice mom! (Maybe I should try some of that "happy drink" and that would help me.)
Looks like hard work and a lot of fun, great pictures!
Hey Brother Kerby!

You also wrote something in my year book that meant a lot to me. (ill have to dig it out) anyways.. you may know my little brother Colton Wininger from pg.
Hope to talk to you soon.
