Uncle Chris visits

Uncle Chris was up for a visit over the past couple of days and the kids were so happy to see him. Sadie talked her way into a sleepover at my parents house with Uncle Chris and they had some special one on one time. Here they are reading some bedtime stories.

Yesterday we all did a hike up Gage Mountain. Gage is a small mountain by my parents house that overlooks their lake. Like everyday this summer (or so it feels), the forecast was for possible thunderstorms in the afternoon. When we left, skies were blue, so we felt like we were in the clear as far as weather goes. We all made it to the top of the mountain! It was the girls first hike on their own (Sadie did get a short ride from her Uncle Chris). Here is a picture of us on the top!
About 2 minutes after this picture was taken, the skies got very dark and then it started thundering and then pouring rain! I was nervous that my kids were going to freak out and that I would have traumatized them for life, but thanks to Uncle Chris... he just started make a joke of it all and laughing about it all. He kept the mood light and funny, the girls loved it and we made it back to the car safely. I guess things don't always turn out as you hoped or visioned, but that's just all part of what makes life fun!
