Birthday celebration at Medicine Rocks

     Michael's 7th birthday just so happened to fall on a Sunday and the same day that his friend Nory turned 9. Our families discussed and decided a celebration was in order! After Sunday afternoon Bible Study we headed down the road behind Pastor and his family

I was thrilled to have Eldon rig up the train tracks and train on his cake!

The kids climbed and climbed all over these cool rocks.

Michael and his friend Nolan, who is only 2 months older then him.

He was so happy!

Blowing out his candle.

Nory blowing out his candle. I thought it was amusing that both boys only wanted a number candle :)

Birthday Boy! He told me his cheeks are getting puffy from eating to much sugar :). It happens!

Ethan was in his glory, climbing all over. This was not as bad as this picture makes it look, mom :). It was a very gradual hill and didn't drop off on the other side as it appears.

This freaked me out a little. I tried not to look. Thankfully Ethan couldn't make it up most of the high rocks.

Cool little window.

Yeah, that's Makayla and her friend Nodi peering over a cliff.

One, Two, Three ducks in a row.

It was much to hot for a fire but we made one anyhow and Ethan had fun burning marshmallows.

Happily, Eldon remembered to take his drone.

Such a pretty area!

     We had a great evening in spite of the heat. In the shade it was bearable and became quite comfortable by dusk when we headed home. The children were completely exhausted and the girls both fell asleep before we got home!
