A Hiking We Will Go!

Saturday Morning we didn't really have any set plans, so we decided to go for a hike. We love our town because we can drive 10minutes and find trails. We took about a three hour and 45minute hike! The boys did great! Trey had some melt downs on the way home dropping to the ground exclaiming that his legs hurt. However, thankfully after a prayer he got a second wind. Oh, and for the record I carried Makai in the backpack for the first leg of the hike and if I didn't drop a dress size I was robbed!
This was taken right before lunch. I told everyone they had to smile or I got their sandwich!:) Can you tell these guys were hungry.Makai loved lunch! I think he ate about 100grapes! Speaking of 100, Kyle brought home about 100 rocks. The kid has this new interest in rocks. A REAL geologist came and talked to his class at school this week and he came home using all kinds of geologist lingo. Anyway, he found this fossil of a shell. He also found some rose quarts which I actually think is pretty, however how I'm going to make the other 95 disappear without him knowing is going to be tricky!
This is the lake we hiked around. The fall leaves were so pretty. Color!! Glad we went out yesterday and enjoyed because today is simply freezing! A sign of things to come. Oh what a difference a day can make.

You crack me up!

That's cool that Kyle found a fossil!

Funny thing...when we hike around Woodland Lake, Kaitlyn is always spouting off facts on plants and trees...she went there on a field trip and I think she memorized everything she was told!

That hike looks amazing. I can't believe they made it for 3+ hours. Good for them! Good for you! It even hurts to think about it! I have a cool rock, too. But no fossils. Kyle has sharp eyes.
