Part 3 of Part 1 of our Summer Trip: Prospect Mtn.

The second day of our camping trip, we were going to go to a near by water park, but it got cold and rainy. So we decided to take a drive up this mountain called Prospect Mountain. Once you almost got to the top, a little white bus took you up the rest of the way-all the way to the very top point!! Kaiden was scared on the bus. I think he is scared to be up high, or something. He thought the bus was going to crash and fall off the mountain! He worries way to much. . . anyway, it was pretty cool at the top! The scariest part was when I had to go to the bathroom!! The toilet looked like a normal toilet, but when you opened the toilet lid, it was a huge hole that was really deep and you could see down it. It scared Mommy too!! What if I fell down it!! Oh, gross!! anyway, they didn't have any running water. It was sick!! But back to the mountain. When we got to the top, it cleared up and was nice and sunny. I'm glad we went, it was pretty neat.

This was at the very top.

While at the top Kaiden decided he was going to rock climb, like his Uncle Jared.

He almost fell off and was holding on for dear life.

He was trying to get my help, but I figured he could handle it on his own. What?. . . It was good for him!

Here we are, on the very highest rock at the top of the Mountain. I know. . . it is not like it is Mt. Everest or anything, but it still felt really high to me!!

Dallin at the Bear Slides

Mommy apologizes for the all-of-a-sudden ending but she thought Dallin was going to die, or at least get badly hurt. . .so. . .

(Sorry about me crying, but I had just totally wiped out as soon as I stepped in the water! It was way slick!!)

Daddy on the Bear Slides

Mommy just wants me to add that this doesn't look that scary, but in real life it looks way worse. Mommy and Daddy both thought that Daddy was going to have a broken something after this! If you could of just seen the terror on Daddy's face while it was actually happening. . .

"Bear Slides": Part 2 of Part 1 of our Summer Trip

This was the favorite part of the camping trip for everyone! This place was so cool. It wasn't that fun getting up to the "Bear Slides", but it was worth it. We hiked up the mountain for about 15 minutes and it was a pretty steep trail to follow. I wasn't sure if me and Mommy were going to make it! Finally we came to these natural water slides, and we had a blast on them. Right of the bat Kaiden, Dallin, and Daddy about broke there arms and legs on the first part of the slide we tried. After that we just stuck closer to the bottom of the stream and it wasn't very dangerous! We had this place to ourselves the whole time we stayed which was about 4 hours. It was so neat! If we ever go back, we are definitely heading back to this place!

Kaiden getting ready to take his first "slide" down the stream.

This was my part of the slide. It was the very bottom, and there was a little pool at the bottom to play in.

Notice Dallin is holding his bum bum. This must of been taken after he went down the super scary part that none of us ever tried again after the first time we went down! (The part where you get slammed into rocks at the end!)

Part 1 of Our Summer Trip

So, the first part of our vacation we camped at Lake Luzerne, NY and were there for 3 nights at a state campground. It was . . . fun . . . no, really it was. Sometimes I was scared at night, but for the most part it was fun. We did lots of fun things which will have to be on different posts, because Mommy took lots of photos. One thing I liked doing were the campground activities. We did lots of different things. We made masks one day, made a sign to put up at the entrance to our campsite, and played soccer. There were other things to do, but we were usually gone somewhere else.

The first morning we were there, we made scary animal masks. If you can't tell, I was a mean mosquito, Dallin was a mountain lion, and Kaiden made a red fox. He didn't wear his, though. It was fun to make.

Trying to Scare the boys!

So, me and Mommy went to take showers one night and Daddy acted like he left with us. The boys stayed in the tent and played. Daddy really stayed behind and tried to scare the boys, but I think he was unsuccessful. On another video (which I didn't post because it was way to long!) you can hear the boys saying, "Ha Ha, I know you are behind the tree!" Oh well, it was a good try, Daddy!

Here is the start of our vacation. It was so much fun. We saw new things and did things I had never done before. Daddy even said that we went the farthest east we had ever been. The first day we drove through Canada and stopped at Niagara Falls. That was CRAZY!! We rode a boat out to the falls and it felt like we were in a hurricane!! Then when that was over we walked up stairs right next to the water fall and got drenched!! (We even had ponchos on!!) After that we ate at the Hard Rock Cafe and then left to go to our hotel a little bit down the road. We went to Niagara Falls on the American side this time, since we have been to the Canadian side a few other times. It was a little scary for me coming back into the U.S. because we had to stop at this booth when we got to the border. This guy asked us lots of questions and then he opened the van door on my side and stared at me!! He tried to ask me questions about my unicorn I was holding but I gave him the cold shoulder!! Doesn't he know Mommy taught me not to talk to strangers!! Daddy says that is what they do whenever you cross borders of different countries. I guess he was right because they did it again when we came back home!!

Wow--I never seen a flat screen t.v. before!! It was big!! They are really nice to watch cartoons on!!

So far I'm having a great time!!

The boys had a good time, too!
