Seth got baptized at church today. The pic is him reading his testimony. I (Dad) got to baptize him and say a few (highly encouraging and no doubt motivational) words to him first. I thought that was a pretty cool touch on the part of the church. Hey nice one, Seth! (As the Big Guy said when His kid got baptized, "This is my son, with whom I am well pleased!)
This hike was an Indian trail complete with a guide to trees and history. It lasted a mere two hours with 700 ft. of climbing on switchbacks to the top and then back down. It was fine until I had to carry the baby on my back. Did I mention that Andrew forgot the baby backpack! Twenty-two pounds makes a difference! That wont happen again!
Seth had to say this about the weekend. This weekend I went to Kernville. I enjoyed hiking the Unal Trail and shooting BB guns. I also enjoyed hiking other trails. I played legos, shot aliens as Dr. Cockroach Ph. D. (Monsters vs. Aliens), and played army. I really enjoyed it up there.
The second hike was Salmon Creek and we felt like we were in the middle of the forest. We went across a beautiful meadow and looked for Bambi (no luck), then we followed a trickling creak with little waterfalls. It was breathtaking. We wanted to go to the big falls, but Andrew figured out that it was a nine mile hike or so. WHAT! Maybe, next time. Our hike ended up taking three hours, again with Andrew and I sharing the load of Levi. It was really fun getting out in nature and learning about the Indian trails and trees that grow in our area.
