It wasn't like it was at sun-up, it was around 7:30. Seth roused and got dressed. Ian was tougher. Larry said he thought he was dead...Seth was rocking him back and forth and Ian didn't move or even moan. I have to laugh....Larry said Seth finally lifted one of Ian's eyelids and that is what finally woke the boy.
Then they start putting on sweat shirts! I said they wouldn't need them, it was not cold (being so early I guess they figured it must be cold). Next Seth decides that they need bottles of water, but doesn't want to carry them, so they both dump out their backpacks to put their drinks in. They weren't having breakfast first (it would have been noon before they left), so then they had to decide on snacks. Larry despaired of ever leaving. He kept telling them they would only be gone about an hour, they weren't hiking across the Serengeti. Larry asked me if I wanted to go...I declined. I wanted to do a little mucking out of the house while they were gone and I got the flowerbeds fertilized.

As I half expected they took about twice as long as Larry thought, they didn't get back until 10:30. But they were all still moving good and said they had a good time.
The boys brought me presents in their backpacks. They know I love rocks and especially the white quartz so they picked them up along the trail and put them in their backpacks. Of course they over loaded and Larry said they stopped a few times to toss out a few. I still received a nice little collection. They saw lizards and dragonflies, but Larry said he was shocked they even saw that much with all the noise they made.

| Larry was taking a picture of the heron in the top right dead part of the middle tree and all these dragonflies were zooming about. |

| Naming "their" lizards. |

| Ian was in the lead. |
