Elephant Rocks Park

Today we decided to do a 1/2 day of school and g visit Elephant Rocks Park. I have wanted to take the kids there for almost 2 years and jut got to go today. This place had some amazing sites.  The elephant boulder is HUGE. It is a state park, and has over a mile of a paved hiking trail. We did some other hiking but K and I could not do a lot. We had to take his stroller because he gets tired pretty easy and I am not able to tote him long distances. (Seeing he is almost 40 pounds.) Here are some pictures of our trip.

This is the wall of the station. I thought this was pretty neat how it was put together.

We couldn't always get thru everywhere, so we just hung out together
This lake was breathe taking. Picture does not do justices.

C took K up on a rock in his stroller and he thought it was so much fun
Trying to lift this, and then I told C it weighed 8,500 pounds. As much as a pickup truck. He was shocked
This is all granite rock. It was amazing at the amount of granite on a 7.5 acre area. I want to go back and take the whole family. We had a picnic before getting on the trails. The only problem we hit was there is no restroom til you get out. Hard to make a 3 yr old understand that. lol I had a hard time picking pictures out for this. I had so many good pictures of this trip. The area is just beautiful.
