Another South Rim Hike

Eric led another training hike up to the South Rim. I'd planned on going with him, but I had a tummy bug. So I missed his 'bubbles on the Rim' talk again. I'm in deep bubble envy. I want to blow bubbles off the South Rim. It's only a 13 mile hike... I think we'll have to plan another trip soon; I can always find a sitter for the kids.

Monsters Beware!

Awyn brought her lightsaber all the way down into the cave to fight monsters. From the moment Eric and I started telling the kids that we were going to a cave, Awyn started talking about monsters. She packed Sam's lightsaber too, but his stayed back in the van instead of in his backpack.

Sam wants to type his own name:

samuel lee leonard

Yes, another family picture!

Of course we had to get a picture of Sam and Awyn with grandparents.

Ah, my little family

A family portrait with the bat, naturally.

The Bat

Yes, we now have a series of pictures with the bat. Sam has loved the bat on all three of his visits down into the cave.
