On Sunday, our first hike was to Mills Peak Lookout.  The lookout point was really high and my Mommy didn't even go all the way up to the point because she was a little scared.  My Daddy, Grandpa and I went all the way up and they said they could see Mt. Shasta from there.  After that we hiked the Red Fir Trail and learned a lot about the Red Fir trees.  There was so much to see and much more to smell.  After that we hiked to Hawley Falls.  I didn't actually go all the way to the Falls because it was treacherous and Mommy and Daddy would not allow it.  On our way back from the hike we encountered a fallen tree on a bridge that we had to cross.  I jumped over it and Sierra went underneath it.  We are so different.  After a little trip to the town of Graeagle we headed back to Salmon Lake and went out on the canoe.  This was mine and Sierra's first time being on the water in a canoe.  It was a little scary at first but I calmed down quickly and enjoyed the trip around the lake.  My Grandpa caught another trout and this time Daddy caught a 15 inch Rainbow Trout.  He was SO excited because he has not caught a fish in a long time.
