Sticks and stones

This morning, the younger kids and I dropped Michael and EM off at a trailhead for a day hike. They're planning to hike about 12 miles today.



The trailhead was about a mile and a half up a dirt road that followed a brook. There was a primitive campground, with a little path down to the brook. I let the younger kids play for a few minutes before we left for home. They each claimed a big stone and found a stick sword to use to defend their territory.



They declared a temporary truce to take this picture on IM's stone.

Cute picture!

It sounds like the father/son outing will be a fun experience.
