This past weekend we escaped back to the hills of Metamora for a very needed respite.
Jared took the wheel for the drive up...
Jared took the wheel for the drive up...
..however he was appalled when told a six year old cannot legally drive.
The forecast called for thunderstorms all weekend but Saturday morning brought great weather so Ari, Riley and I took a hike around the park.Time for a rest
Ari and Riley ran past this stretch as it was not to their lichen.
Afternoon Saturday the rain came down; we were unimpressed as we have ponchos!
Then lightning!!
And ghastly apparitions!@
Actually, this was a reconnaissance mission, searching a good location to cast a line.. We found a great one but a fishing expedition never developed.
Sunday started a bit drier and the whole family made a trek about the trails.
A few miles in warranted a break. Riley was being bashful. Will disapproved.
End of the trail the hardy hikers were still raring to go:
Requisite flower photos

Dan just loves his flower pictures!
As Jared's mom - should I be uneasy with the fact that he seems to look so comfortable behind the wheel of a car at the young young age of 6???!!!
You should see William!
