Sylvan Lake, Harney Peak, and an Old Fashion Chuckwagon Cookout

Today we headed to beautiful Sylvan Lake.  A few of us wanted to do a little hiking up Harney Peak.  I completely ignored the sign that said 4-5 hour hike.  I am in good shape and we can do it in three!  Half of the hikers were only going up halfway, but Skylar and I were doing the whole thing!

 Starting out-a happy bunch! Beautiful views and forest life:)

 

This was a good stopping point.  Henrik, Maria and James went back down and Skylar and I continued up!

 

 We made it all the way to the top!

 

 We had to run back down!  We knew they would leave us if we were not down in time for the cookout.  It did take us 5 hours:( and we had a few angry people at us!  But we made it and the views were worth it!!

 

After a day of playing in the lake, we had some tired kids! We made it in plenty of time for the cookout and of course had tons of fun playing cowboy for the night!  Our wagon host was amazing and the songs he sang were so fun!

 

  

Serious stuff here.

 

 Trying to be serious cowboys!  Brennen just can't do it!

 Best picture!  Maria is just so happy;)

 Our host...

 It was time for the traditional cowboy dancing--you know, the chicken dance, hokey pokey...
