Whitepine Hike

On the 4th of July we decided to hike up to Whitepine Lake with Jake's parents. It is one of our favorite hikes and traditions and this was Coop's first time.  Cooper was such a big help getting the goats ready to pack. He LOVES animals and LOVES helping! (I sure hope the helping part never changes!)

Cooper even rode Hercules for a little bit of the way...with Dad's help of course!
Gotta love this cheese face!
 Stopping for a snack break at the lake!
 Coop wasn't too stoked about riding in the pack because he thought he wanted to walk the whole way.  7 1/2 miles is a little too far to walk for a little guy with such short legs and flimsy sandals on, he just didn't realize that! At least we got a half smile out of him here.

 The last half of the hike Coop was just too pooped and fell asleep on Jake's shoulder.

 Back at Tony Grove we ate our lunches.  Coop found this spot on the sidewalk where he decided he wanted to eat his sandwich.

Later that night we went to the Balls' BBQ and had fun visiting with everyone there. We got to see the Logan fireworks the night before, although shame on me for not getting any pictures. Coop loved the fireworks and playing with his cousins!

Love all of your fun adventures lately. Congrats on the 5k. Love that Jake cut coop's hair and love the mullet! Ok... I don't but I think it's great that he still does it. He better not give brett any ideas.
