hiking spree

we have been embarking on a fall hiking spree that our local county is hosting. if you hike 8 trails between sept. 1 - nov. 30th you earn yourself a hiking stick and a pin. after your first year of earning the hiking stick and pin, you earn a pin thereafter. we have been letting the kids pick the trails and they are having a blast being explorers! we have seen lots of creeks, different kinds of trees, bugs, and little vermin. it is absolutely beautiful with the tress starting to change colors. i'm loving the family time and time outdoors... it's a bonus bc the kids are exerting energy and having fun doing it.











3 down, 5 more to go! =)
