Mountain Life

The kids are having a great time on our mountain vacation.
Petite Java is a fashion model hiking the trails and Blue Java has an outdoor gene that must be from a distant relative bc it is not from his parents.
Grande Java did not make the trip for the week but we are meeting him at a surprise destination for the kids.
We have seen snakes, deer, frogs, a large snapping turtle, beavers,woodchucks, and caught trout.
We have been hiking, and let the kids take breaks in the river. Today we took them to a gem mine and they loved it.
We are with another family and having a great time.
The big kids have been given some freedom here as we are in a gated community with only one entrance. Today we let them walk together, with a cell phone of course. They were promptly back minutes before their ETA.
Everyone is getting along great, there were three families here over the weekend and we are now back to our usual two.
Life is good, but would probably be less exhausting if Grande Java were here-well maybe not!!
