taking a hike

On Wednesday we got together with a group of friends, and had a hike. Well, it was more like a stroll, really...but I was more than okay with that. We haven't taken our kids hiking in a looooooong time, so it's best to break them in gently.

We went to a "recreation area" up the mountain, about 40 minutes away from here. It was stunning, and I have to say that the weather was just exquisite. What a gift!


Here's a photo of Ben and his friend Hailey. Aren't they sweet? They walked, holding hands like this, for quite a while.


Kyle checked out some fish at a spot where we could see under the river.


Hailey, Brooklyn, Kyle, and Benjamin


A little blurry (my apologizes!) but isn't it precious? Owen was such a good boy the entire time, and Hailey seemed to really enjoy pulling the wagon for me. What a helpful girl!

Except when Kyle decided to ride, too. That was a bit much even for her...
