Mt. Charleston

Yesterday we escaped the heat for the afternoon by heading up to Mt. Charleston with our friends. The plan was to have a picnic lunch, but things didn't exactly go as planned. First the picnic site that we went to last year was closed for the season. Not a big deal, we found a nice shady area that was pretty level for the babies just off of a hiking trail. We spread out our blankets and started to eat and all of a sudden there were bees EVERYWHERE! We had to pack everything back up and move down a ways. Just as we start to eat again the bees were back, they were following us. It was the craziest thing! They were everywhere! On our food, in our bags, on us, the kids were scared. So we decided to drive down the mountain to the lodge and just eat in our car. After we ate we let the kids play in the grass. Not really the mountain experience we were hoping for, but still fun. Pretty much like a park without the playground, but it was about 20-30 degrees cooler, so that was nice.

All of our kiddos! They have pretty much grown up together.
