Train Tunnel

Dad and Mom took us to the coolest place- the railroad tunnel under Ely's Peak!

 Peter and I approach the tunnel very carefully, not sure if there will be monsters or ghosts in there.

 Nope, nothing scary. Nice and cool in there, and dark!

 On the other side we climbed on some rocks and Dad impressed us with how high he could go without freaking out Mom.

 Those are some pretty tall cliffs.

 Mom tells Pete to smile for the camera and this is what she gets- Pete's classic grumpy face, which I proudly taught him.

We made it back to the other side, and Dad and I climbed over the tunnel for a good view, leaving Peter crying on the trail, left behind. Poor little guy- it was a pretty rugged trail to get up and Mom had sandals on, and couldn't help him up.

There were lots of strawberries along the way so we had a snack to and from the tunnel. We liked this hike so much we had to bring Grandma Gerard there yesterday when she was visiting. Whoever comes to visit us, request a trip to the tunnel, because it is one of our favorites now. It is pretty short, but we do get pretty mopey in the heat, so a warning to those who want to go out- there may be whining if it is hot!
