We left the farm and headed down what's known as "the Swan" to the prettiest little lake named none other than Lake Holland. May I say, Miss Holland was thrilled. We found a place to camp and headed out for a hike. This was just one of many pit stops.
The "easy" 1 1/2 mile hike wasn't so easy when you're carrying Reese most of the way. But we were rewarded with these water falls. Holland Lake makes our highly recommends list.
Holland (our budding photographer) snapped this one of her Poppa with Greer. Did I mention how beautiful Holland Lake is? We named our little whipper snapper quite well, eh?
After dinner, we sat on the shore of the lake and watched trees go up in flames during a controlled burn. They looked like Roman Candles... the trees just imploded. It was pretty amazing. (Click on the picture to get the full effect-- I promise, it's worth it).
And here's a little closing shot to put a smile on your face. Hopefully, you won't turn me in for Internet Porn. We're having a little issue lately with Reese and nakedness. We hope it's just a phase she's going through. Anyway, this is Reese's version of a victory dance after she stole Holland's most treasured pets: Daisy and Chewey. Bedtime in the camp trailer--- we're talking pure entertainment!

Lonni! What a great blog. That lake hike looked amazing--wow! So, yes, the Klynglers are such a cute family! I haven't gotten a chance to really get to know them, but the few chats we've had have been fun. I'll tell them you said hi :) Hope Idaho is treating you well. I miss it--and you and everybody. We are loving Texas on the other hand. I agree that taking care of 3 dramatic girls has got to be harder than the hardest job (I loved your self-describing paragraph :). Loves,
Kerri and the Costley fam
Oh, by the way. We spent the weekend with Mark and Rachel (some of their really good friends from b-school are in our ward whom they stayed with). These poor friends have the Hardys, the Costleys, and the Leavitts all to answer to (ha ha). Anyway, loads of fun!
Oh, the victory dance .... tooo funny!
adore the nekedness with the binky. Way to accessorize. Oh, and I was telling Marc about poor Byron's broken ribs--hope they're mending!?!
How fun to be raised on such a beautiful farm! They should have a bed and breakfast so we can all enjoy the clean air. Holland Lake is Heaven on Earth!! Sherri
