Hiking

We did some hiking way back on July 3rd. Amy had the weekend off'ish, and wanted to spend some time outside with the kids. We chose to hike at the Kanawha State Forest. We printed out a map that shows the bike and hiking trails, picked one, and packed a lunch. Everyone was happy and ready to go when we got out of the car and headed up the hill.

This is a shot of Lexy, Amy and Trisha. They were nice enough to turn around and look back at me long enough to snap a quick picture.

Not too long after the happy picture above, the kids were thinking the the bugs, heat, and hills were not too much fun. We got some unhappy feedback. Amy, Trisha and I just kept on trucking and tried to point out the happy stuff. We did see some cool things. We found a plant that the leaves grow in a circle, we found an old mine road and some small waterfalls.

Isaac and Lexy found an old log that looked like a surf board. They did have fun mountain surfing for a bit.

Amy had packed us a great lunch. We sat down right on the trail and ate our lunch. As you can tell from Isaac's head. It was hot and humid.
