A day hiking hurricane ridge

By Amity -
We have been really wanted to get back to Hurricane Ridge for a good hike and to see what it looked like in the summer.  This is our favorite place to snowshoe in the winter, we've only seen it with a whole lot of snow on the ground.  It was just as beautiful as in the winter and we saw roads, trails and parking lots that are buried in the winter.  We hiked about 2 miles up to the top of the mountain, the views were breathtaking.  Mac had a butterfly that landed on him and hopped a ride for about a mile of the hike.  Both kids were trying to catch crickets, Mac caught about 6 and Emily got one.  We saw a few deer and had a chipmunk join us for our snack!  Emily walked most of the hike, only wanted to "ride" twice for just a few minutes. A fun day, were all very tired!

Friday night Christina came out from LA to hang with us. John headed out early Saturday morning to spend a week fishing in Mexico with Jimmy for his 40th birthday!  Saturday Christina and the kids played almost all day long.  From shooting targets with Mac to being a princess, then playing Zombies with the kids and lots of Uno....all before lunch!  We hung out at the pool for a little in the afternoon, then met Mike and Sarah for some dinner and arcade games.  What an awesome way to end our last night with Grandma Cheryl, Mike and Christina.  I think everyone had a blast and I think Christina slept pretty well Saturday night!!!!!!

The forecast for today was a high of 100 degrees with humidity so what else is there too do on a hot day but hit the movies. I surprised the kids with lunch then we went and saw Toy Story 3 in 3D, the kids loved it. Emily did much better than I expected and only got bored the last 20 minutes or so. Mac of course couldn't take his eyes off the movie.
