Family Hike

The girls love to explore the neighborhood.  We moved over the summer and we are near some woods so a few times we have hiked back there and explored.  There is a new phase to our neighborhood being built, so we have walked over there from time to time to check the progress and see if any houses are being built yet.  This past weekend when it was so beautiful outside, we decided to go hiking.  We found a nice paved/gravel trail through Unity Village that ended up being close to 3 miles.  

Lauren has been hiking a few times on the Girl Scout campgrounds, but Addison has not.  


Yes, Addison is hiking in a dress (at least tennis shoes are on) and collecting rocks to throw is the river and lake.  




If you look real close you can see a deer in the picture.  Lauren spotted it first and we were shocked at how long it stood there and watched us, then walked towards us.  That was definitely a high light of the hike.  


Making it to the lake was also a high light to the hike.  



Of course, we had to stop and have a snack.  Hiking makes you hungry and well we are raising hobbits so they had to eat.  


Leave it to Addison to incorporate a dance/ballet move into her hiking with the stick.  

Anyway, it was fun.  A beautiful day and a great family activity.  Both girls are eager to go to another location and hike and explore.
