montgomery bell park

 We have a state park about 10 minutes from our house.  We decided since traffic would be nasty this weekend, we would rather explore our own area and this was at the top of our list.  Our sweet neighbor works there and we had a bbq (which we have learned to say, "grill out") with them Friday and she told us about some of the fun things going on this weekend.  She also told us about a Jr. Ranger program they have this summer and we are trying to convince Heidi that she should do it.
 We took a picnic lunch up and went for one of the shorter hikes.
 Have I mentioned how beautiful it is by us?  I mean, seriously.  We can't get enough of the scenery and neither can the girls.  Heidi is constantly commenting on how beautiful it is.
 Caimbree got to hitch a ride in the baby carrier.  She adores the outside and was as joyful and happy as could be.
 We attempted to take a selfie while Jeff ran back to see if he could find the binky Caimbree launched.  We don't take many selfies around our house and clearly need some practice, ha ha.
 This picture cracks me up because Jeff and Savanna are walking the exact same way and looking the same direction.  Twins.
 Heidi has been fascinated with maps and directions lately.  She was thrilled to learn how to follow the trail signs and was pointing out the red markings on the trees along the way to tell us we were still headed the right direction.
We had a wonderful day!  We absolutely love having the opportunity to be so active with our girls here.  We are outside most of the day every day and the girls are loving it.  It was great hiking weather and we can't wait to explore all of the trails!
