Sunday evening mountain hike

June 30, 2013

We love living close to the mountains.  There's a great trail just a few blocks from our house.  A fun family actvity that we like to do together is going for a Sunday evening hike.  We waited till it was later in the evening, and even still it was extremely HOT! I have a feeling it's going to be a scorching fourth of July.  I got some great photo's , but it was really bugging Kirk, he didn't want to stop to take the pictures he wanted to just keep hiking.  It was fun to watch Jence holding on to Dan's hand as they walked.  He is such a cute little guy and loved the walk.  He would point to things like the waterfalls, and such.  Benjamin had fun, but fell down a couple of times and got scratched up a bit.  The mountains are gorgeous, we just love them.  It's nice to raise the kids with opportunities to be close to nature.  They love seeing the animals.  On this walk they actually came acrossed a snake.  Well it's been a fun evening, and another perk of hiking is that the kids are easy to get to bed, they crashed pretty fast!
