Hiking!!

On the Holiday Monday last week, swimming isn't the only thing we did. The weather was perfect for a hike. We have never really gone on a hike with both kids. Someone always needed to be in the stroller or backpack carrier (we never found one we liked) and so hiking was just something we didn't do a lot of. Besides, when Nathan and I hike, we like to hike. Not stroll for a few minutes and then be done.

We found out last week that our children are now of age to enjoy a hike lasting more than a few minutes, on a path that is longer than a couple hundred centimeters. :o) In fact, we hiked for an hour.....covering about 2 kilometers! I know, doesn't sound like much, but remember, they are 3 and 5. And the path was filled with ups and downs.

If it wasn't for this girl, I would not notice every pretty little flower 2.4 cm from the ground.

 

 

 

 

The day was certainly a warm one, so what better way to end a hike than hitting the yogurt shop?!

 

We are excited that this hike may be the first of many with our kids. We can't wait to show them the great outdoors our amazing Creator has made.

And here's a little proof that the day, totally wore out a little 3 year old. Be ready for a good chuckle!!
