~Our Family Vaca. 2017

~We all brought our bikes this year.  I enjoyed riding mine to the shower house each evening! Everything fit into my big basket just fine!

~The campfire is always fun!

So we found a new, to us,  hiking trail.  We had to cross over these stairs to start the trail.  Boy if we had known what a hike we had set out to!  I think we went four or 5 miles!!

~If you want a really long but beautiful hiking trail, take this one!

~Asa on the lookout.  Wait! No hunting on the refuge Asa!

~No worries!  The kids did their schoolwork after our morning hikes.  It was our downtime!

~Nothing better than a good ol' family devotion on the campgrounds!

~Sam cooked our bacon and eggs each morning while I made coffee and toast!

~hey!  I was there too!! :)

~Oh give me a home where the BUFFALO roam....

~We took the kids to the forty foot hole!  It's a pretty good hike up the mountain and then you have to climb back down into where the water is running.  We saw a bright, pretty lizard on our way!

~Such a pretty sight to see!  Our Creator knows just how to make things!

~My kids are tough!  Not a sissy in the bunch.  We got scrapes, cuts and bruises and bites, no tears from any of them!  They enjoyed the hiking so much!  We had to slow them down a few times and remind them we were up on a mountain.

~By the time we were done playing all three girls had slipped in!  

~Time to hike back up and then back down!

~Turkey and deer visited our campsite daily!  I had lots of flowers picked for me! Such fun memories made!

~We enjoyed our family time!  Love these babies of mine!!
