At the Lake Park

 Hi all!  This afternoon, our Grandparents took us to a beautiful park situated next to a lake.
 Unfortunately, just as we pulled into the parking lot, it started to rain.
"This is annoying." I commented.
"It does not appear to be a heavy shower; hopefully the rain will let up in a little while." Elizabeth replied.  True to her word, the rain did stop, so we ventured outside.

 "What do you want to do?" I asked Elizabeth.
"Perhaps a game?"
 "That's a good idea ... since there are so many trees, how about hide-and-seek-tag?  I call hiding first!"
"Very well," Elizabeth laughed, "I'll start counting.  One, two three, ..."  
I quickly hid.  After some searching, my sister found me.  Then, it was my turn to seek.
" ... ready or not, here I come!"  (Cue Mission Impossible music ...)

 Peering around tree after tree, ...
 ... I finally spotted a swish of blue - the color of Elizabeth's skirt!
 In case you didn't know, in hide-and-seek-tag you have to not only find the Hider, but also tag them.
 I was gaining on Elizabeth, but then she suddenly rounded a corner.
"Where can she be going?" I muttered.
 Turns out, the dock.  
 "Wow." I said, forgetting about our game.
 "It is lovely." Elizabeth agreed.
 My sister and I had a great time at the lake-side park.
How do you like to spend time with your siblings (or, if you don't have any, friends)?

Hiking at Lily Lake

What did you do yesterday? We went to Lily Lake, as you can see from the photo.  After lunch, we climbed a short hike almost all the way around the lake.

It was a beautiful, sunny day.
Chrissa and I in front of the lake.
Here is part of the path we hiked.

Once you got to the top, the view was amazing.
Here's a rock Karen.  In some places of a hike, it's hard to see the trail, so rangers will put a pile of rocks (called a "Karen") so hikers will know where to go.

On the path, Chrissa found this neat little cave.
After our hike, Chrissa and I looked at the waves of the lake, it strongly reminded us of the ocean.  And our house.
"I miss our house, Elizabeth." Chrissa sadly said.
"I do too, Chrissa, I do too."
Traveling is fun, but there's no place like home.
