The kids had been waiting months for horseback riding, fishing and 4 wheelers. They weren't disappointed. We only wished that we could have stayed a few more days.

Minus a few babies and moms, the family decided to hike Hickman Bridge. It was a little longer than everyone realized, but even the little kids were troopers. I think the gummy bears and M&Ms handed out by Aunt Charlene were a big help.

After the hike we all met up to have lunch at the Sunglow. I have been eating at this restaurant my whole life. Although the menu has changed over the years, they still serve their famous Pickle and Pinto Bean Pies.
