(OK….so I really had the more easy baby-carrying job yesterday.

My sister Shannon carried Ruthie in her arms most of the hike.
We need another backpack).

I discovered about 6 years ago, that if I wanted my kids to like the outdoors,
I had to enjoy it with them.
(really not a problem. I was taught to enjoy the outdoors the same way.
Mom & Dad just took us out.)
We live in Colorado, & experiencing the mountains is just part of that package!
My sister Rebekah & I have been wanting to get these cousins on a trail together,

Finally, we hit the trail a bit after 10.

Thanks for sharing your exploits in hiking with us. Chris and I have been trying to get out into the mountains around here to take the kids hiking but life keeps happening! Maybe this weekend ...
Of course, my crazy hubby thinks that we should just have the kids hike with us for the 2.4 mi loop. We'll see how that goes.
Oh.my.word, Beckie!!!
Good luck on that one!
Where do you find the energy?! And not just for hiking, but for driving across several states with three kids and no adult help? I was so impressed when I saw you at chapel! Wish we could've chatted a bit more but it seems our kids had more selfish plans =)
You do such a good job. Keep it up!

Sarah-oh, it was nice to see everyone in Law. too!
Kids rarely cooperate with adult plans, I'm discovering! ;-)
(I think I'm just a bit insane to do so much......but, really, Ana is a HUGE help!!!)
I can't get to your blog now, Sarah. Is it password protected?
Kim,
What a fun day for you all!! Its SO great to get out in the outdoors and enjoy the beauty of God's creation. I used to do lots of bushwalks with my parents when I was younger and loved it. We haven't done much I must admit at all with 2 under 5's. Definitely hope to again though as they get bigger.

Anna-you are so right. It is God's creation I want to teach them to enjoy-because He is so creative to make such variety for us to enjoy.
