Take A Hike!!



James' brother Ken and our nephews, Alex & Brandon are visiting with us. They live in California so we don't get to see them often. We have been having so much fun showing the boys around our area. Yesterday, while James attended a conference for work, Ken & I took the kids on a hike. The trail wasn't a hard or long one - but from all the bellyaching they did, you would think they were scaling the Himalayans!

Once they started noting the interesting things along the trail, though, they had a great time. Here, Ken points out tree fungus to the kids:



And, hiking is also much more fun when there's climbing involved!



Ken & I were also subjected to the antics of our resident posers, Maddie and Alex!!







Here's Ken and Brandon making their way along the trail:



And, this was our final destination: We thought there was an actual cabin at the end of the trail, but there was only this marker:



The kids were a bit disappointed by there being no cabin, but being able to climb on the downed trees more than made up for it !! (You would think that after living here for 4 years I would have known this, but I guess that just proves that there's a whole lot left to explore in our own town!!)
