Our First Real Hike

Meet Chris. He is our tour guide for this family friendly hike of 2 hours. We got there late but quickly found the group. On the entrance to the hike there was a warning sign about bears and wild coyotes (or was it wolves). Ugh, yeah, good way to start the hike. The kids were on hyper vigilant wild animal alert. Once we joined the group, everyone felt safe, b/c you see Chris, the park ranger, he has protection. He has a big walking stick. ;)


 This hike was the first real hike that any of my kids have done. Most everything up until this point had been in the 30 minute range. What troopers!
Check out that walking stick that my lil' girl found! Woah Nellie! I think Chris is going to be envious.
I wanted to Google the disease that this tree (below right) had. We called it the "bubble tree". We saw several and were afraid to touch them. Yuck.
  


            Heading out! It's hard for little ones to hold their bladders after two hours. And we felt a little                                               awkward letting our kids pee in a protected park area.
