A family hike

"Let's go hiking tomorrow!" my husband said with such excitement last night to me. "Ok...." I said, hesitantly, not wanting to disappoint him. We geared up this morning and headed out into nature. I have never felt so at home in all of my life.

Walking down the trail, taking it all in.

This fascinating spider web was inside of a tree stump. Little Guy couldn't get enough of all of the bug guts.

He decided to start collecting some items midway through the hike. Here he has gathered a leaf and a rock. 

There was a lot of walking involved, we willingly followed Daddy, unsure where he was taking us.

We took on some tough challenges, like climbing this big rock. 

 Enjoyed the peacefulness of being where others aren't. Fantasized about jumping in the water. 

Made sure to keep hydrated, it was really hot out there!

Took a break, and talked about the long walk ahead, back to the car. 

All while, this bundle of joy, took a nice nap. 

 Deep hills and slippery paths were some of the challenges from today, but the reward was great. We are already looking forward to next time.
