Family Hikes

With the current season of our family's life, it can be challenging to find things we can all do together... at the same time... when no one is napping, hungry, tired, etc :) We love to get outdoors together. Hiking really fulfills all of us - now with two babies, it requires two backpacks, but the prep is always worth it. Plus, it is always filled with good conversation (and a little complaining sometimes!) and lots of exploration, observation, and adventure. We decided to do a 3-mile loop... wow, b/t all of the stops for exploration and caterpillars and butterflies and noises we heard and woodpeckers and snacks.... Jonathan and I were HURTING with these babies on our backs!!! We might have to rethink that next time :)
