Great Outdoors Backyard!

So we are staying in Skips backyard where he grew up and it is awsome. His dad owns some acerage behind the house that is just pure woods. It goes forever with no houses. In fact it is so thick that when we decided to go exploring through it the other day we had to take a machette to cut a trail! It was a little hard for the kids so we didn't get very far but Skip and I are going to venture out some more on our own once we get a chance.

This is a view from the house.
Here is Skip trying to site in the pellet gun in case there is a bear! Or a squirrel!
Starting out! You can see our trailer set up in the background and Skips dads house behind the truck.
This is Skip cutting the trail.
Kennedy with her walking stick! She didn't get much use out of it cause I actually had to carry her most of the time.
This stump was really cool so we had the girls pose on it!

We got to pick and eat fresh blueberries.
And cranberries too!

This is a fungus that grows on the trees. People cut these off, paint on them, and sell them. If you can imagine Parker, he has collected 7 of these things, 500 rocks, 40 sticks, etc.!

So needless to say, our kids have a blast playing in the yard!
