Flume Gorge- Happy Memorial Day.

The Bear Cave

This is Ethan Titus, expert hiker. Can you see the water and walls?


One of the covered bridges we walked past.


We had a great Memorial day enjoying one of NH state parks. The Flume Gorge is amazing and a wonderful hike. We were glad to have great friends with us. The weather was a perfect 72 degrees. It was a great day, the kids loved the "bear cave" and the "wolves den."

Elliot was amazing, she has a future in hiking. She didn't want to be carried, and even insisted on carrying Mikes water bottle. Caleigh found her a "baby pine cone" early on in the hike, Elliot put it into her pocket and would pull it out to show everyone multiple times. "see baby pine cone, cute!" The other kids did great too. Miles took the longest turn carrying our "pack" (a Bob-the-builder backpack.) The hardest part seemed to be stopping for all the pictures we took.

What! No picture of the baby pine cone! I bet if Elli were taking the pictures there would be one. It looks like you guys had a great time. I noticed that you and Mike are suspiciously absent from the pictures...
