Here is the start of the hike...the boys were so excited they started running across the bridge. And no they don't have glow in the dark bunny tails...I guess their rain jackets have a reflective spot at the bottom of the coat. I never really noticed that before.
The boys and their friend Jonah at the base of a huge old oak tree.
Much of the trail was in the forest but there were spots that opened up to beautiful meadows showing dramatic cloud formations and nice views of the mountains.
The boys taking a contemplative moment at a bench rest stop. For some reason Dylan thought that pose under the bench was more comfortable.
This was the longest the boys ever hiked before without being carried or pulled in a wagon or stroller...and with absolutely no complaining! We did a nice loop trail that was about 1.5 miles. On the way back Dylan and Cole had so much fun holding hands. Since it was such a nice day there were other people out on the trails and the boys liked to stop and tell the other hikers all about the things we saw along the way.
All the boys are holding hands for the last push before making it back to the car.
Once we got back to the car we enjoyed a nice picnic lunch together...except that mom never seems to have it together enough to be able to pack food for herself, so I end up just feeding on their scraps! The boys LOVE picnics especially when mom packs their lunches in their very own lunch box...it's just like the big kids at school that stay all day and eat lunch at school! Hopefully we will have more nice sunny days!
