Sprucing Up

This morning the weather was slightly cooler and a little cloudy ... perfect conditions for a summer hike! So we ventured out to one of our favorite areas called Spruce Mountain. This was the first hike with all three boys, and happy to report, it went quite well. So well in fact, we might just have to try another mother-and-my-3-sons hike again this summer.

"I LOVE HIKING!" says Luke!

Reid said he was tired.
Luke thought he would help.
So he carried Reid. This didn't last long.

View from the top
with our 2 happy hikers!

Grant LOVES the Great Outdoors.
He didn't make a peep
the entire 1 hour + hike...

In fact, he was so comfortable
that he fell asleep!

The boys decided they needed
walking sticks for the trek down.
They wanted to bring these sticks home
with them, as they do with every other
stick, rock & leaf they find along the way.
Thank goodness Mom has a rule that whatever
is picked up on the trail stays on the trail...
otherwise our car would look like a bird's nest.
