We have done a lot of just hanging around this vacation. Most days, we do one thing--a hike, swim, play on the playground--and then spend the rest of the day napping and eating. It's very relaxing! The first several days we were here, we just slept and slept and slept. Now we're caught up on sleep and are venturing out for longer days of things to do and places to see.

On our hike day, we tackled a "scenic" trail but somehow got diverted onto a horseback-only dirt trail high up in the mountains. Here we are at the start, happy and fresh:

See?  Everybody walking upright and peacefully:

After walking straight up the mountain for 20 minutes, this is what we looked like:

A snack, hugs from Daddy, and sucking down all the water led to Grayson's renewed energy.  Notice I'm hobbling in the background, bent over.  It was a little high for a pregnant woman up there!

Some of us never get tired and can still smile after hiking lost all over the mountain!

The next day we ventured out to a little mountain town about an hour away.  Lunch of fish and chips, then a long walk through the scenic town.

We rode a gondola high up the mountain to a little adventure park for the kids.  I hate heights.  My shirt was clearly not as helpful as I'd hoped.

On the other hand, Caiden loves heights.  He laughed at me the whole way up!  On the upside, we saw two moose grazing and a beaver swimming. 

At the top the boys braved alpine slides and scary things like that, while Addie jumped high above on a bungee trampoline.  I stayed firmly on the ground, taking pictures.

And fun was had by all :)
