The other day we took to boys hiking up at, you guessed it, Petit Jean. I know that is almost always were we take the 'are we going to Petit Jean!'. We might even take them this Friday too. I will tell you about that outing later.

| there is lizard in this picture - can ya find it?, ....it took the boys a while to see.. |
For this one, we decided to take the boys on the Seven Hollows Trail trail, figuring that we might at least make it to the natural bridge. Well, when we finally made it up there we were all hungry and so we hurried to the bridge area to eat our picnic. Rush in......told the boys we would be enjoy the scenery after our picnic.

Then, while eating we noticed a lot of smoke further down the trail some ways. And another hiker, came by saying there were three spots smoking so maybe we might make our way back, because she and her husband couldn't tell if a fire was starting, but that she was rushing back to get signal and call the ranger.

| nice cool rock - love it! |
So, of course, we packed up and hi-tailed it outa there - well, as best you can hi-tail it with three youngsters right after they have eaten. So, rushed out.......not a whole lot of enjoying the hike this go around, but definitely an exciting tale to tell. ;)
