Mindy's Birthday...

We headed north to celebrate with the another Pabst Family...
We threw together a little trip up the canyon with a dead christmas tree to burn as our fire.
(you see Christmas trees on the roof of cars in the winter, but not often do you see dead ones up there in the spring...lol)
Here is the striking of the match....

and the burn...it was a hot fast burn! Note to self...forest fires are BAD! j/k -I already knew that. :o)
it was so hot the cooks were shielding themselves from the flames...
The kids had SO much fun playing together. They were SO dirty when we were done, but they were SUPER HAPPY!
PR hanging with Uncle Dave
After food and clean up we took a little walk down the path by Second dam. What a cute walker.
The kids found a big rock to rest on...I don't think Logan liked if for some reason. ;o)
But the coolest thing was Mrs. Moose. Jon was a little ahead and he came fast walking back saying "there is a moose up there...come see." She was on about 100 feet away from the trail eating the buds off the trees and drinking the water. I LOVE MOOSE!! So I just stood there and watched her. It was SOOOOO AWESOME!!!
