The kids really had fun. Ezek took too many risks w/his rock climbing; he kept me in panic mode during most of the hike. Other then that....it was fun.

Can you believe I started out w/the stroller? (lol) We didn't know what we were getting into. But, we made it to the bottom of one of the falls.
Ohhhhhhh, brother's and sisters gotta hug. Maybe, she's scared...I don't know..It's hard to read teens.
She's not scared here...Cormic and Seirra in a Nikon moment.
Geez, look at these tough guys take'n on the outdoors.

Ry and Cormic take'n a break by the water. Believe it or not; but Cormic wasn't too thrilled about being close to the little rapids...so dad held him tight.

Sierra look'n cool as can be.
We were thankful that Trapper and his family met us at the park. Here is Trapper w/his little man Wyatt.

And, finally a quick shot of the family. It was so nice to get away for a couple of days and I was sooooo relieved no one got hurt.

Elmo taken hostage ?

Not sure if this is what this little guy is suppose to look like, but I noticed Elmo's face change after Cormic got a hold of him.

Do you see that he's a bit shaken after being force fed some coco pebbles?

Cormic and Elmo at the table...right after Cormic tells Elmo "I'm your number one fan. See, my sweat shirt? Now, I'm going to take care of you and feed you some cereal."
Cormic says "Ssssshhhh and eat"
Elmo starts to tremble, tries to signal for help...but doesn't want to upset the boy.Cormic must have caught on to poor Elmo's plea, grabbed him gently by the head and said, "Smile for the Camera Elmo...you aren't going anywhere."
Elmo, "he he he..."

What it takes to get out.

No, I'm not talking about the inmates at work...But, I do often wonder if our teens view their home life as "doing time". They are great older siblings and they help every day. Because, it takes a lot just to get out of the house.

So, for the Evans' family of Nashville to get out...it takes a lot of team work...and it's usually a rushed situation. This day, Sierra helped get Carson ready. And, as you can see Carson tried to get away. The little ones don't make it easy.This day, Ezek helped with Cormic...thankfully Cormic was cooperative. He may have been scared of E's shirt. Yes, it's a shirt, we do feed the kids.
And, can anyone figure out why it takes the entire village to help get us out the door? As many posts end...this one will end too w/a picture of Cormic. Someone will get this little man cleaned up and polished nicely. And if you turn your back?.. Ya, below is what usually happens.
