Rock City

With some beautiful weather and the wonderful help of "Auntie Hoot" the Rock City adventure began.  Nathan and Jason were anxious to climb the big rocks enjoy the adventure.  They each had their emergency whistle in case of wild animals or getting lost which they enjoyed blowing all the time. 

Poison oak was just coming out so Auntie Hoot made sure to point it out along the way so we didn't touch it and have problems after we got back.  We made it without anyone getting a rash.

All in all it was a beautiful day for a climb on the rocks and some beautiful views of the valley.

As we started out we climbed an easy rock and tried to smile for the camera.

Nathan thought he saw something across the valley and was trying to point it out to Jason.  What a beautiful sky we had that day.  Amazing clouds.

Auntie Hootie helped the boys climb to a small arch.  Great fun!!!

Jason found a small cave to hide in and suprised us as we came around the corner.  Notice the orange whistle for emergencies.

Since Marianne had the camera we don't have many pictures of her.  Kristin got one of her coming up the trail.  Great climb and beautiful country!

Nathan just couldn't resist picking the noise of the stone face.  Of course he needed a little help.

Jason toss a little parachute man off of a rock to see how it would float down.

Hoot and the boys blazing the trail up to the big rocks.

Taking a little snack break.

Nathan always liked trying to be on top and the highest.  He really has good balance and climbs well so with more training he will continue to be a good climber.
