Tom and Ethan playing tag on a "rest" during the hike. Tom would let Ethan get pretty close and then jump out of the way before Ethan could tag him. For some reason, this didn't seem to bother Ethan. Just the opposite, in fact. He started laughing so hard he couldn't even try to tag Tom!
Logan during the game of tag. He loves this fire shirt Gary brought him back from Florida even though it is three sizes too big. Every weekend he seems to wear it.
Gary decided to have the boys build a rock tower along the side of the trail. He told them that each time we came along this trail we could add to it and watch it grow. Ethan was all excited to build the tower and started finding the biggest rocks he could carry.
Not to be out done, Dylan also started picking up rocks and throwing them at the pile. By some miracle, he didn't hit anyone. All he wants to do is be big!
The completed first stage of the tower with the mighty builders and the ferocious watch dog.
We found a tree that a woodpecker bored a hole into. Each of the boys had to have a look inside the tree. I'm glad Gary was with us. I can't lift Tom and Logan anymore and it was just high enough that they needed a boost.
The journey home. Dylan "hiked" most of the way on Gary's shoulders. The boys each carried their back packs with water and snacks and jackets in case it rained. Ethan's looks HUGE on him but he insisted on carrying it the whole time.
