Hiking in June

In late June a friend called me up and we took the kids out hiking. We had tons of fun and I hope we can do it again. I have lots of great pics, but I will include ones that don't include them as I haven't checked to see how they feel about such things.

There was a lot of water and I let the kids get in it. Here S. is walking through the water.



Here is K.


OK. This needs explaining. J. wore these shoes and by this time had taken his socks off. He had obviously gone in the water. He told me that his shoes had so much water he had to dump them out. I had wondered why because I thought the water would just leak out. However he took off his shoes and proceeded showing me the water pouring from his shoes! I was very surprised that the shoes held so much water. Who would have thought that? Unfortunately by the end of the trip the shoes had rubbed his foot so much they left a blister. :( Poor boy. (Also sorry that the pic wouldn't rotate. A bit weird, but that's life.)




Here is S. She had climbed up in the tree.




The following pics are of J walking in or near the water.






Here is J. eating lunch.


We had a fantastic time and look forward to doing it again!

Who knew you posted on your blog! Fun! Thanks for sharing. It reminds me of walking along Sandy Creek at Bullard Park. I think I was with you once and we walked to Gram's house. I LOVED walking on the rocks on the stream. Good times! I'm sure the kids will remember that hike too. :)
