Punch Bowl - Stoney Creek

It was an incredibly beautiful day and we had the day off - well... so we thought! Everyone managed to get home around 2ish... then we all jumped in the car and drove to Stoney Creek. We have this one hiking spot that we always go to, but thinking it would be a little muddy this time of year we decided maybe it was time to expand our horizon's a little! Hiking has to be one of the #1 things on my list of "things to just do". Fresh air, beautiful scenery, exercise, etc! Someone suggested this place and I'm so thankful we were able to go - it was beautiful (skip the name part)! 

 The hike to the hike...
The view was amazing - it was such a clear day you could see right across the lake. It was one of those days where the sun was shining so bright, the clouds were those big fluffy marshmallows, and the temperature was perfect!


 The Punch Bowl - little side note when we got down there... all the sudden we heard some "thunder". Everyone sort of jumped then dismissed it... however a few seconds later some more "thunder" then rocks started falling. Thankfully not on top of us, but it was close enough!
 Little man - big "ice-berg"


 The tunnel - Sometimes like life... we walk through dark times, but there is always light at the end... and there is always our Heavenly Father walking beside us to guide us to that perfect light! Thankful the light is coming! "Remember at night what you knew in the day till darkness fades away"
After the hike it was time for ice-cream... 

So thankful for this time of year where we are reminded of our Saviors sacrifice for us - How He gave Himself for us that we might have eternal life!

"The blood that Jesus shed for me...
It reaches to the highest mountain
It flows to the lowest valley
The blood that gives me strength
It will never lose it's power

It soothes my doubts and calms my fears
And it dries all my tears
The blood that gives me strength from day to day
Will never lose it's power!"

(Parts of) Family Day

Family Day was different this year then others - it had become an annual tradition to go hiking, however due to some conflicting plans it didn't work out this year! Some went here, others there, yet we were all together for dinner!  I took Faith and the two youngest boys swimming - there was hardly anyone there, the boys so enjoyed it!  Game time  Music Time  Grandma wanted help cutting out her runner...  At 10pm I got inspired to do a cake - I had a gracious helper:) My Dad's project for the day! It's so nice - getting all these projects done around here!

Sunday Afternoon

 One Sunday afternoon I brought these adorables back to the farm for some fishing! It's all I could do to get them to stop!                                     Hudson wanted to keep catching them, didn't think that it mattered if we couldn't eat them all!
