pie rock picnic

We took a little trip up the canyon last weekend, so Stick could look for a good camping spot for the Scouts.

We saw lots of crowded camping areas, but eventually we got high enough on the mountain that we came upon this spot. It was amazing! (even for me, the girl who prefers clean indoor comfort to outdoorsy stuff.)

This fun rock was affectionately dubbed "Pie Rock."

I have no idea why.

We spotted a deer.

Houdini crept over to catch it.

Very, very slowly and quietly.....

At least it was quiet until the brothers arrived to help.

Good bye deer!

Back to the picnic for the boys.

Stick insisted on taking a picture with me in it.  I even gave him my mean eyes* and told him "No way Jose!"

He didn't listen.

We spent quite a bit of time trying to remember how to set the timer on my camera, so we could get a family shot with the pretty mountain in the background.

Eventually we figured it out (you will hear us discussing this rocket science on the video) but then the shot turned out blurry...

wah.

When all was said and done, and it was time to go home, Reb was a leeetle dirty.

the end!

Well almost.

After we packed up and headed down the mountain, Stick realized he lost his phone up at the picnic site.

Up on the mountain.

In the dark.

So, he went back the next morning with Proto and Rooney to look for it.

Proto found it in the first 30 seconds.

Yay, Proto!

*name that movie.

So,....I see how it is.....drive right by our house and don't even stop in to say hi. According to Strider's calculations you are up "our" canyon. Mineral basin?

Looks like so much fun and beautiful pics!!
