Timothy gets in on the fun and hikes and climbs a little with Phil.

This is THE ROCK that I freaked out when I saw the girls climb up. It dropped straight off the back and the images of one of the kids falling was almost more than I could bear.

For the 2 minutes that I was up on top with them, I must admit that the view was spectacular. Here is a shot of Melissa and Sarah looking out over the mountain. They kept saying, "Look we are above the tops of the trees." Yep - and that's why this was the last time we made the climb!

Another friend that we met up with in the Big Horns was Taylor Baldacci and her family. Danette and I discovered about a week before that we had plans to go to the same place for Labor Day. Our campsite - #10, theirs #11. Here is Lindsay, Taylor and Jessi enjoying a much safer climb.

Brenda and Jackie saying, "Thanks, but no thanks," to the offer to go to the top!

This is about 1 1/2 miles from the campground at the dam at the reservoir. Phil only freaked out a little when Melissa then Lindsay jumped up off their feet to hang and look over the wall. This is what the view below looked like. There was a section of bridge right over the part where the water ran through made of a see-through metal grate. That's the definition of trust - actually walking out on it, believing that the bridge would hold our weight!

The view looking up from below.

Here is a video of Kevin throwing a big rock over the side to see if the kids would get splashed. Watch for yourself to see if he was successful.
