Oh So Tired.

Yesterday we took the boys hiking. Our neighborhood is called, "Hope Town." It is Bob Hope's ranch from years prior. Behind us is Corringville Ranch. A lot of the land is undeveloped and there are trails from our neighborhood leading into the hiking areas. Our house is on a cul-de-sac that backs up to the caves. We are kind of embarrassed that we have lived here since July and have yet to go hiking "in our back yard." A ton of old movies were shot directly behind our house. Tarzan! Susana Pass (why the name of the street leading into our neighborhood is called Santa Susana Pass and is a beautiful Sunday drive), The Three Musketeers, Inspector General, Billy the Kid vs. Dracula, The Fugitive with David Janssen and Westerns such as, Vendetta. Speaking of Westerns, if you are an avid watcher, the sets of Fort Apache, Silvertown, Dodge City, Mineral City, Tombstone and the Lone Ranger Ranch are back there. The buildings are gone but the foundations are still there.


The Chumash Indians lived in these caves for hundreds of years.

Besides learning about our area, we did do some actual hiking. We had a nice picnic lunch with the boys. They really enjoyed being carried. I have to say that they are a lot heavier than they look! I am sore today. We had a lot of fun though.





And of-course we tuckered the little one out. All that hiking he had to do.

After naps, we took the boys over to a friends house for a bar-be-que. We got home and they went straight to bed. We had to wake them up at 8:30 this morning! At our church, we had a 50 year celebration today. And of-course they were tired by time we got home.

Will actually just wanted attention in this picture. We felt so bad for Harrison sleeping that way that William wanted us to feel sorry for him too. When we got home, BOTH boys went down for naps. Now it is over 3 hours later and they are both still sleeping! I guess we wore them out this weekend.
