Turtle River State Park , Part 2

This is Part 2 of our Turtle River State Park journey. So look at the previous BLOG to get the background to this.
Kaelynn and Grandma are sitting at the top of the hill prior to their event!
Grandma was a good sport and took her solo run as Connor waits for her at the finish line.

But Grandma too has been watching the Olympics and this turn took her out of competition for the event. But she came back and took a podium position later in the day. She has been practicing all her life to be a Grandma and wasn't going to let one small spill keep her out of the big day!

Connor and Kaelynn were in the starting gate, ready to take on the hill!

This was the victory celebration at the bottom!

Turtle River State Park

It was a beautiful day in ND. Connor, Kaelynn, Grandma and Grandpa went to Turtle River State Park, which is about 20 miles west of Grand Forks. We missed Carson, as he was not able to come this weekend because he had a sore throat and running a temperature. We will go back another time when Carson can be with us too!

Connor found a walking stick to lead us on our journey through the woods. He was a great leader.
Kaelynn was also a great hiker as she walked through the snow with her stick.

After our hike we had hot chocolate and an outdoor picnic.

I think Kaelynn has been watching the Olympics!

Connor and Grandpa hiked up to the mountain top (Ok it isn't a mountain, but give us a break, this is ND!). It was Connor's idea and he led us up the mountain!
He looks like a determined young man!
