Floats and Albion Basin

We checked out the awesome floats at the parade preview party. Of course the train floats were the most popular with our crowd.

We hiked in Albion Basin to Catherine's Pass. The kids said hello to everyone we passed. Ikey would start conversations like this: Are you having a good hike? We started hiking way down there. I'm obsessed with trains. They call people obsessed with trains "railfans".

Jovie told a few hikers, "I've got granite. It's igneous." She was right too!

Jovie said, "We're hiking to Silver Lake Lodge." She wishes!

We camped out in the back yard last night. When the fireworks started, Ikey said, "Does someone have poor judgement?" I guess we've expressed our opinion about fireworks to him enough. I was very brave about camping with the kiddos by myself until I was awakened by a cat fight in our yard. It was so scary - It sounded like babies crying! The kids slept through that one.
