Apr. 26, 2009 - Our Hike-the adventure
Oh my gosh!, if it could go wrong it did. My dh is taking a final this weekend so the kids and I have been trying to do things out so that he could concentrate. Well, today I thought we could go on another hike...I use to hike all the time and loved it. Back then..I didn't have kids. Only me. Okay. So we start out and everything is going well. We had our back pack with the essentials and boy I am glad that I learned to do that.
First part of the hike is fine. We are on a loop which the half way point is a great lookout point, we make that then we start to finish the loop and 3/4 of the way there are about 20 trees that have fallen and are blocking the path. So we turn around and start to head back when my ds wanted to take a different direction (also a path). Okay, fine. Then a little way down it was blocked. And at one point the path was so steep we had to climb it on our hands and knees.
So, I see the top of the hill and both paths are blocked now...I look at the top of the hill and say follow me. I am making noise, praying that the kids don't step on a snake and moving fast.
We get back to the look out point and start heading on the path that isn't blocked then a lizard jumps on my ds with autism (who thought it was funny). Well, it really wasn't funny. But, we survived....here are a few pictures. Enjoy.
