Riders on Jacob's train.


Jacob woke up around 5:30 saying he had to go potty. As I took him to the bathroom he said, "I'm lookin for bears. They belong here." It took us a while to fall back to sleep. Jared, Adam, and I were up at 8:30. We woke Jacob ~9am. The boys were excited to go down for pancakes at Grandma's. After breakfast Grandma came for a walk around the campground with us. Adam stuck his head in a puddle. We relaxed at our site for awhile and Grandma came down for a visit. Jacob made a road in the dirt. Shortly before noon we headed over to Estavant Pines to hike the trails. It was a beautiful day for a hike in the woods. Jacob hiked the whole way and loved being "the leader." Adam got in front a couple times and said, "I'm the leader." Adam walked more than half of the hike. The boys loved going over all the board bridges. Adam said, "I like dis." Lately Adam likes to say, "Oh, I know you." He also says, "I member dis place" or "I know dis place." We got back to camp around 2pm. After eating a late lunch we headed over to Bete De Gris Bay. The weather was nice, sunny and low 70's. The water was very cold. We had a nice time there. Got back to camp at 5:30. While waiting for dinner Jared and I played dice. After dinner we went to watch Dennis raku firing. The boys liked watching him put the hot pottery under the cans. Jacob made a train out of some chairs. We went out for ice cream. Soon after we got there Grandma and Grandpa came. We got back to camp at 10pm.
