Isaac's very favorite show is Survivor Man. Lucas tolerates it. But when it comes to acting out Survivor Man challenges on the dirt mountain in their back yard, they both love it.
This mountain is steep and rugged enough to pose a real challenge, especially after a downpour.
Here, Isaac shouts to Lucas, far below, tips to help him make it up the scariest cliff.
Far below is a dried up stream bed.
Fortunately, Grandma & Ariel discovered an access road up the back side. While they wait for the boys to reach the summit, Ariel collects rocks in her plastic bottle...
And Grandma enjoys the Kodak moments.
Here Isaac sits on the edge of a steep ledge eyeing the situation.
Lucas has the eye of the tiger when it comes to survival.
Once up on the mesa, a celebration is in order.
The zoom lens makes the Clinic seem much closer than it really is.
As a rain storm moves in, we know we only have minutes to make it home.
The boys climb back down the hill to the field below.
And race us home.

Seriously gorgeous pictures. I know Wisconsin lacks in some areas, but scenic beauty must be it's one true asset.
I can't believe you are wearing sweatshirts, jackets and bundling up in blankets. I can hardly wait!!
Great shots! We have got to get these kiddos together. James would love the adventure and anna fills bottles with rocks (then water) all day long.
All of that open area seems like it would be heaven for kids. Fun photos.
