This weekend Monty went with the scouts on an overnighter up to Mt. Baldy. After returning home he told the boys he wanted to take them. Mt. Baldy is not far from our house at all and the hike is really pretty with a fun little creek. We packed a lunch and headed out. Along the trail we found a community of lady bugs. I've never seen so many lady bugs in my entire life. Bushes and bushes full of them.
The older boys had a blast collecting lady bugs.
Trey on the other hand wasn't too thrilled. Upon being told by his brothers that he had one on him--he freaked out!!
He preferred just being silly!
For lunch we found a cozy spot by the stream and ate. Not 5 minutes into it Kyle fell in. We knew if anyone was to fall in, it would be Kyle! He's such a water boy and so adventurous. I have to hand it to him though. Although the water was freezing, and his pants, socks and shoes were soaked clear through he didn't complain one bit! He was a trooper! We had a wonderful few hours in the mountains.
Just a few pictures of our little men! We love them so much!

My girls would have been in heaven with all those ladybugs. That is so awesome; I've never seen anything like that either! What a fun afternoon. Our days like that are quickly disappearing. Snow is just around the corner.
How fun!! I got to admit that seeing so many lady bugs on their skin is a bit creepy! :) Looks like a fun place though!! What handsome boys!!
Christian just added "I love them!"
Too Cute... Although I must admit, my reaction would have been exactly the same as Trey's even though I'm a billion times bigger than the little creatures.
I love it!
..for some reason, this post reminds me of an over night hike we did as teenageers...if I recall correctly...we were going to "sleep under the stars" so we didn't pack a tent...but ended up in the tent your dad carried up...I guess they were the ones left under the stars??? Oh...and I also recall some outdoor usage of the "bathroom"...(hope you didn't have to do that on your hike the other day!)
Anyhow...I love the pictures and really....one of these days we're going to come to CA to visit and lets take our families on a hike!
I really like Trey's silly face. The lady bugs look really cool. Nice to see updated pictures of the boys. They look all grown up.
