After breakfast, we started on our journey. It was really hot, so we decided to stop at this cute little place to get something to drink.
But, we found something really cool when we turned the corner. There was a small petting zoo! Ha! It was great. We got some quarters out of the car and bought some feed. I had a lot of fun with the Llamas!
After goofing around for a while, and drinking our drinks (I had a chocolate milk, remember that...) Eriks and I went back on the road. It wasn't too long before we came across this cute little waterfall. I think that this is the funniest picture because if you look at Eriks' face, I snapped the picture right as he dipped his toe into the freezing water.
After a little more driving, we found the perfect place to take a hike. Hay, remember when I said I had chocolate milk? Well... I didn't check the fat content and this is what happened to my tummy...
Not so much fun! But I was determined! I really really wanted to go hiking so I just kind of ignored it. Eriks and I put on our hiking gear and were ready to go!
The hike wasn't very long, but with my tummy being as big as it was, my energy was totally drained. So, this hike was perfect for us. The hike was all up hill to a little lake.
After a very nice hike, we made it to the lake.

It must have been mating season for dragon flys. It was amazing how many dragon flys there were in the water. It was very clear that the males were all fighting to mate with the females. What I thought was really strange was that if a female was mating with a male, the other males would try to drown her while she was doing her thing. It was very interesting to watch. After watching for a while, Eriks and I found a very nice and big rock in the shade to have lunch. After eating, Eriks and I enjoyed a good hour in the shade just relaxing.

On the way back to the car I stole a kiss : )
Once we got back to the car, we decided to head home. We went back the same way we came mostly just because we wanted to go back to that little store. This time however I did not get the chocolate milk. Instead, we got popsicles! It was really fun because we sat in the grass, ate our popsicles, and played with chickens. It was so much fun! I was sharing my popsicle with them! We also got some suckers to go. It was a very long ride home because our air conditioner is broken, but no matter wheat we do, we always have fun together!
