Jose takes a hike!

sorry for the underlining on the top half of the post. I can't figure out how to fix it. Ctrl u isn't working. =( Jose is the 2nd counselor in the Young Men's Organization at our church. Most of the activities of that age group are in the scouting program. Seeing as how we have 3 boys of our own, it was only a matter of time before we had something to do with scouting. Jose really enjoys it. So about two weeks ago they decided to climb "Old Rag." This is a mountain about 1 1/2 hours away from us in the Shenandoah Mountains. They couldn't have picked a prettier time of year to go. The leaves were beginning their change of color and the weather was nice and cool.

Here they are starting their climb up. So pretty isn't it?

A couple views from along the trail.

Here is the whole group stopping for lunch. There was one adult per kid with one extra kid.

Here is our hiker. He is smiling here but the next day, he was pretty sore. But he had a great time and can't wait to take our boys there. He's thinking sometime in the near future...I think he's crazy!!
