Saturday Hike









Before we moved here we decided that it was going to be our routine as much as is possible to go for a hike every Saturday just as it is our routine to get doughnuts on Saturday morning. We've missed a couple of Saturday's but we're doing pretty well. We had a super time today and the scenery was so beautiful! We went to a place called Garden of the Gods open area so it is not part of the park. The hike started off at about 93 degrees and ended at about 80 degrees which was PERFECT!! Gabriel was enjoying using his compass and keeping track of our direction. Annalina enjoyed journeling what we saw. Ross I was very impressed with how well he kept up for having short legs! And Carson ended up falling asleep on my back. We all enjoyed the scenery and the adventure of it all. A lizard was out and a bunny rabbit and we even made it to the van before getting caught in an afternoon storm! And if that wasn't enough activity the kids came back and played for hours with the neighbor kids and had a ball. Babe and I painted in Annalina's room which was something we'd had on our To-Do list for awhile. It was a good Saturday.
