"Are we going to more Mountains?!!!" I think Devon asked this question at least 500 times today....He was sooo excited about this trip! Tanner was equally excited asking about the waterfall! He even asked me if Peepop knew where he was going because he did not want to miss it! These boys are so funny! As we started out our trip, I was extremely thankful mom and dad came with us for MANY reasons. First......they had walking sticks for us to use! I have never realized how much I needed one......when you have issues with balance at times....this becomes invaluable! Mom took the lead with Tanner and Devon following close behind. I was next then Chris and dad. The fun part was trying to take good pictures while everyone was walking......including myself! I have to tell you, the boys did such an incredible job! We had a few minor setbacks, but other than that......the hike was perfect! The most precious moment of the day though was in the bottom right hand pic on the collage. Each boy had found a walking stick, but they also held hands for a while. As I was walking behind them, it was very had not to get a few tears in my eyes. These boys just like any others have their little rifts and rumbles, but they truly do love each other! They were so funny because on our hike, they must have had 5 different walking sticks each! When a better one would come along on the trip (or perceived better one), the old one would take a trip down the mountain! I just have to say......it was an incredible day! Now, it still continued after the hike........we went back to Meme and Papa Rymers house and made a big treat. We made......Stone Soup! We picked up some stones on our way back on the hike to use in our soup! If you want to know how it turned out.......look up the story of Stone Soup.......it was so very YUMMY and the boys loved it! I love my grandchildren so much and it is moments like these that I will cherish for the rest of my life! God has been so great to us and though along our lifetime we have made many.........MANY mistakes, He chose to bless us anyway! We serve such a wonderful and mighty God
