Kids went on their own hike. They were so excited I let them go all by themselves. :) They were gone for a grand total of 2 minutes, but MAN! Those 2 minutes of adventure took 15 mins to tell us what all had happened when they got back. 
Sicily's most favorite past time in the forest is throwing rocks in the river with Aunt Marlene.
I on the other hand, thought I'd cross the river. And after telling my kids to not fall in, what did I do? Lost my footing and stepped right in the deepest spot.
Aspen on the other hand got a little too brave and went down with the ship. Well....almost.
We did have fun teaching our boys how to be proper Pyros. I eventually had to force Phoenix to throw his stick in the fire, it got down to about 6 inches long at that point.
Time for some Marshmallows. Jared got the coals just glowing and perfect for some nice brown toasting.
Sicily on the other hand didn't want to bother with the toasting part. "Just go for the Mallow," she says.
And when you're on a crazy vacation, like we are, you don't exactly carry a bucket in the back of your car. So when it's time to put out the fire you use the next best thing. Yes...those are snorkeling goggles.
Jared and I were both raised in the Mountains and haven't lived by proper mountains for the past 9 years. I think it's time to head back to the Rockies.
