Just the boys

Chubbs, Johnny Bo and myself went up on Pine Valley this last Friday after work. We rolled into our campsite on the hill across from Grass Valley around 7 o'clock. We drove from 93 degrees in the low lands to a perfect 63 on the mountain. The kids and the dogs were as happy to be there as me and we all ran around for a half hour before we set up camp and cooked some dinner. We had a fun night staying up late around the fire and looking at stars. In the morning after a dutch oven breakfast I hiked around the hills with the boys catching grasshoppers and collecting sticks and rocks. Boden would help Jett corner a grasshopper and tell him things like "watch out buddy, he's a spit er." While we were hiking a couple of F-16s came screaming over the mountain insanely low and right above our heads. Bodie and Chubbs thought that was pretty freaking cool. It was a really good time and all three of us agreed we should live up on top for the summer. Before we drove home we picked up all the garbage the local white trash had left behind. Both kids were happy to help even though at home it takes a heck of a lot to get them to clean their room. Even at such a young age they can see what is wrong with that picture.
