Herman Creek Hike to Rainy Lake

For 4th of July, Paul had the only 3-day weekend he's gonna be able to take for the whole summer. So he took advantage of the time, and went backpacking in the gorge. He and the boys took the Herman Creek Trail to Rainy Lake, camping one night. With an unplanned 4-mile accidental detour, they hiked 12 miles on 4th of July, and 16 miles on Saturday. They treated themselves to a well-deserved dinner of burger and fries, and some long overdue rest on Sunday. The boys did a great job and had a wonderful time, keeping in step with Paul all along the way.
A great shot of a creek along the way.
Our handsome boys, hanging with papa on the trail, sporting their super fine backpacks.
Look! Hoban found some snow! What a handsome boy!
Gaius to the side there, hanging out in camp after a long day of hiking.
All my boys, hanging out in camp. The boys having breakfast, and getting ready to head out for another great day of hiking! (I bought him that AWESOME jacket for Christmas. Sexy!)
The boys found a stick, and like good brothers are sharing the fetch. They do love to swim!
One last great shot, here's Green Mountain standing behind Rainy Lake. What a great trip!
