Our Silver Lake adventure...
Matt and Thomas were on a scout camp out so we decided to have some outdoor fun ourselves.
Silver Lake looked like a great place, so off we went, in our trusty ol' van.
When we got to the dirt road, I thought, "No problem, it won't be that bad"
Well, I must say it was a pretty rough ride. In fact memories of Matt trying to take us on this road came flooding back to me :) I remember telling him, "No way is our van going to make it; TURN AROUND!"
How could I turn around? We were on an adventure, I couldn't wimp out, right?
We did make it safe and sound, with only a few scratches, and a brake late that went out from all the shaking; (sorry hun) but it was worth it!
Emily made the 4 mile hike all by herself; with a little help from big sis holding her hand along the way. She was dragging along until we promised her a slushy... Wow, who knew what a motivator a SLUSHY would be? Emily actually started to run up the trail and practically ran the entire way down, chanting SLUSHY, SLUSHY, the whole way!
As promised, she got her slushy:)
What a great way to spend the day with my beautiful girls. I am a very lucky mom!
