Hiking and More Camping

 One morning we made chocolate pancakes and had some of the first eggs from our chickens.
 On one of the camping days, we took a seven mile hike to some waterfalls.  The terrain was pleasantly flat and the scenery varied quite a lot. 
 We had to cross a swinging bridge.
 I wish I could remember the name of these falls.  We hiked above what you can see in this picture.
 We had to cross a log to get to the other side so we could hike above the falls.  Laughing Water is crossing in a cloud of mist.
 It was a hot day and the kids found relief by dunking their heads in the glacial waters.  Brrrr!
 Back at camp, Mr. Blueberry Eyes found a buddy of the squirmy kind to play with.  Later in the day, they joined a group of Blackfeet children and played happily with them for quite some time.  Their favorite story to tell is that the native children said, "Wanna know how Indians fish?  Butt naked!"
 The camp store had some huckleberry soft serve that we couldn't pass up.
 This little black bear hung out for several days on the mountainside above our tent, feasting on ripe huckleberries and elderberries.
S'mores on chocolate graham crackers....perfect ending to an outdoor adventure.  - Nanette
