EBR 1 and Cedar Creek

Every time we go camping, we pass the first nuclear reactor called EBR 1 and talk about how we need to take the kids there.  Last Friday we finally made it there.  Ryan, Avery, and Jette came with us.
Here are the kids standing by the reactor.


Everyone had fun playing with the manipulator's.  Even though it was way over their head's(and mine) we had fun.

After we left EBR 1, we drove to Mackey to go on a hike up Cedar Creek.

About half way up, there is an old dam.

This is what you get when you ask Ryan to take a picture of your family.

The trail is pretty nice and has a few bridges and a stair case along the way.
This is the view at the top.  The water just shoots right out of the side of the mountain.  It was really cool to see.
After our hike we built a fire and roasted hot dogs for dinner.
While we were eating, we had some company up above us.
Ryan brought some guns for the kids to shoot.  This was Hank's first time shooting a gun.  On the way out, we saw a ton of jack rabbit's along the road and the boys had to stop and get in some target practice.  The kids loved it and we had a great day.
