This hike to 4th of July Lake was a lot longer than yesterday's trail (about 1 1/4 mile in), but it wasn't quite as steep. My favorite photo is Geoff carrying the 2 sleeping babies. We were all grateful they were able to get a nap in, and that Geoff was so willing to oblige.
A few braved the cold water in the lake, but most of the kids played in a little stream that cut right through the meadow that we were fishing from. It was dreamy, except for the annoying horseflies that seemed to multiply by the millions during our stay.
Max loved playing with Iyla Pearl, and in general loves the outdoors. It's not to hard to keep him happy in such an ideal setting. The boys fished, but only caught ONE very small fish.
Hanging around camp was always so fun. The kids were always "up to something!" They especially loved making traps for us. They kept busy digging holes and covering them up with twigs and leaves, so we would fall into them. They were amazingly good at this! They also had there own little camp site with their own fire and set up. Quite the little campers!
We did have a bear scare that night. Laura, Nathan & Geoff kept hearing grumbling noises up the creek from our campsite. Nathan grabbed his shovel and began the investigation. After a few minutes, he whispered... "I see it, I'm sure it's a bear!" and went with his trusty shovel toward the bear! Laura was scared spittless, even Geoff had his hair standin up on his back. It ends up, it was just the creek making some strange noises.
