Memorial Day Weekend Getaway...Saturday


We spent the weekend visiting Marc's Uncle Carl and Aunt Beth in Conconully.  We just had to get a quick picture by the old Post Office on our way to the park.

Emma showed us how to hang upside down.

Olivia worked really hard on the monkey bars and finally skipped them!

Marcus raced little cars.

This is such a great playground at the State Park.  It's just a hop, skip and jump away from Carl and Beth's house too.  We spent a lot of time here throughout the weekend.

After the park we decided to drive up into the mountains.  We really wanted to find mushrooms so Marcus had his "map" and said he could lead us there!


The first stop left us empty handed but there was this cool meadow to play in with great rocks perfect for pictures.


Olivia went exploring all around.  She was searching for wild flowers.


We decided to drive up further; we almost got to the top of the mountain when we ran into snow! 


Look at Olivia; flip flops and snow...Marcus is in sandals too!  Emma is the only one who looks like she dressed for the weather.  It was actually 50 some degrees; but there was snow!


Emma was really into throwing snowballs.  She actually nailed me in the head and right here you see her getting her dad.  We told her she needs to work on throwing the baseball like this...she had some pretty good throws!


On our way up the mountain Marc spotted something.  He thought it was either a car or a plane.  So we stopped on the way back down so he could check it out.  He had to hike down the side of the mountain pretty far.  This is using my zoom.  It ended up being an old truck.


He ran into a lot of stickers on the way back up.  He said it was cool though so guess it was worth it.


When we got to town we went to the Community Hall where Emma and Olivia got their faces painted.  Emma wanted a rose.

Olivia wanted a Rainbow.

Beautiful.

Uncle Carl bought each of the kids a duck for the duck races on Sunday. 


Then it was ice cream time!  Yummy!
