We spent Saturday in the mountains at Golden Gate State Park. Since we have discovered that the kids don't really care for hiking, we have to bring alternative entertainment, like fishing poles. Clint knew of several little ponds perfect for fishing with kids. Clint baited the poles and the kids took over. Regan really is awesome at casting and has probably outgrown her Barbie pole. Haden doesn't focus on fishing long enough to know if he is a decent caster or not. Thankfully, there was a mountainside behind us that he could climb around on as much as he wanted. Next time though, he will have to wear a brighter shirt that doesn't blend in with the trees so well!
When Lila wasn't digging in the mud, she was talking on the "phone". She really prefers talking on the television remote, but she's not too picky.
Flying baby! She was cackling the entire time. Little thrill seeker!
Thankfully, no fish were caught! We really should try fishing before noon. We might have much better luck!
We found a playground with some old barns that had been converted to picnic shelters. They made a perfect background for an impromptu photo shoot!
Regan picked out the matching outfits.
I thought it was funny. Lila had no issue sitting up there (Clint was holding on to her) and Haden was holding on for dear life! He has never been quite as reckless as Lila. I'm not complaining!
I know I am a little biased, but aren't my kids just beautiful?
The kids found an old water pump. Clint showed them how it worked. Lila was so excited! She loves water! She was completely drenched in no time at all.
Clint got tired of pumping before Lila got tired of playing so Regan and Haden did their best to help her out.
And then we headed home. There isn't anything quite like the mountains in the fall. They are positively breathtaking!
It seems like we do the same things year after year. I really don't mind, it just makes me nostalgic. I remember when Regan was Lila's age and we visited the same park.
And now look! She is getting so grown up!
I love hanging out with my family!
