Where in the World?

Today Sophie, Luke, Grandpa and I went on another hiking adventure. Can you guess where? Scroll down for answer.


We went hiking on a small path that meandered beside a rippling stream. At times the path was very narrow and high, and we had to scramble over tree roots and climb over fallen trees in places!


Part of the path was a boardwalk over mudslides.The kids were very excited to see that part. Luke said," Hey, it looks like a cribbage board for 16 people!" LOL You can tell they just spent a week at the cabin with Great-grandpa Dick.


We stopped for a picnic lunch where the stream entered the river. It was nice and peaceful- not another soul in sight. Luke "planted" trees from his cherry pits for future generations.


Big excitement as a tug pushed a barge down the river! Bigger excitement when Luke spotted a fish just offshore, and when Grandpa taught them how to skip stones!


Did you guess yet? Final clue. Down 100+ steep steps we arrived at.....






Minnehaha Falls!

Heard Around Town

Yesterday, Sophie, Luke and I were sitting in the backyard working on sand art pictures. Hannah thought it would be funny to wolf-whistle at us from her bedroom window. Whoot-wooh! The kids asked who was doing that, and I told them it was my neighbor. The one who thinks I am sexy. Long Pause. "Grandma, you aren't sexy!" replied Luke.

Today Nate and I were in Walmart. He came flying up to me with something in his hands. "Grandma, Please buy this for me. Please. Please. please! It can be my treat!" The man standing across from us burst into laughter. The treat? Axe deodorant in a spray can!. Yeah, he got it.

We stopped by the Ford Dealership to look at cars. I was looking at the Escape, while Nate pictured me in a Mustang. Who's sexy now, Luke? He shared his joke with the salesman:
"What's the difference between grilled steak and pea soup?"
"Anyone can grill steak, but only someone special can pee soup."

Where in the World?

Today grandpa, Sophie, Luke and I went on a secret adventure. Sorry for the poor quality phone pics.Can you guess where? Scroll down for answer.


We picked wildflowers (and a few weeds.) We watched a cool stream splash it's way down numerous little waterfalls.


We carved in rock like the Indians did. The kids wondered what it would be like to paint on them.

We saw caves. The kids wouldn't put their backs to a cave for a picture though. LOL


We ended up at Culver's for lunch even though Luke said "he prefers Wendy's big glass windows, soft music, and chicken nuggets."
