Proxy Falls with Keely and the Wheeler's

                                    Jack Patterson...One of our little Explorers.  This was taken at the lava fields.

                                                           Can you say "MISCHIEVIOUS"?!

                                                                       Daddy and his boys

                                                               All of us, including baby number 4 :)

                                                                           Best Buds

                                    Despite the rugged terrain, the boys kept up with the adults pretty good!

                                       Jesse took the easy ride...and talked to Daddy the entire time..."Tree!", "Fall"...Whatever he saw, he talked about.

The funniest story from the hike came from Jack.  On our return hike to the car, Jack was getting a little tired and so, was holding Matt's hand.  He said, out of the blue, "Daddy, be careful.  Don't fall and die.  Because if you die, I will just have a Mommy.  And she will never let me play with knives again."  How right he is!
