Prepare for our Trip

We had a meeting, how we are to prepare for our trip

This is a "road" we will likely encounter on our trip

It's a lot harder then walking in the Rocky Mountains

You can still come! even for 1 evening

It starts tonight

A little bit of Spring Cleaning

I washed the carpet on the Stairs

That feels good!

Spawning Trout

 There is actual trout

 In this skinny creek

 The Peter saw 4 of them

I only saw this one

the creek is so shallow 

it didn't have enough water for the trout to swim

Sumery Evenings

 Another Campfire, when we were done 

we burned the dried out sticks from the flower beds

 The evenings are beautiful

 The sun setting on the Farm

 Listening to the frogs
