Cooper Mountain

We hiked with Nick, Brock and Porter at Cooper Mountain. There was a decent sized thunder storm going on, but the ranger said it was OK to hike, just don't touch the trees, and if we get too close to the lightning, lay on the ground. I would like to add that I feel hiking with someone taller than you must also help prevent being struck by lightning.

 Owen and Brock.

 The boys found a little pond, and Brock caught a teeny tiny frog.

 I swear it's there, smaller than a dime.

 Whenever the boys heard thunder, they hit the deck.

 We stopped at this viewpoint and enjoyed the lighting for a bit.

 A beautiful view.
