Ponderosa State Park - July 2013

During the long 4th of July weekend at the cabin we went to Ponderosa State Park twice to go hiking, biking and swimming.

Our first time to Ponderosa was on Wednesday before the 4th of July. Uncle Ben, the kids and myself decided to go biking and swimming while Poppy and Daddy went golfing. We decided to take a mountain biking trail up to the top of the peninsula. To be honest I haven't done a lot of mountain biking. If I had I would have known that taking a bike trailer up a mountain biking trail might not work. About half of the trail was pretty easy and really fun and the other half was super hard and required walking my bike which included the bike trailer and two kids which in total weights over 75 pounds. Getting to the summit was a really big accomplishment for myself. I don't think I have sweat like that in a long time. After the bike ride we went swimming in the lake.

Our second time to Ponderosa was on Saturday after the 4th of July. Johnny, the kids and myself were joined by Stacy and Joe Marchesano (college friends). We first went swimming in the lake and then drove up to the summit to see the beautiful view. It is one of the most amazing views ever.

Below are pictures from our trips to Ponderosa State park.
