Back To The Hill!

One of our family's favorite weekend activities during the warmer months is to go hiking in Weir Hill.  It's been a long winter, and a rainy spring, so we were thrilled when we woke up this morning to a perfect temperature and clear schedule.  We all quickly got dressed to head over to the hill for our hike.

This is the first time we completely ditched the stroller, assuming that both kids could walk the entire trail, or get piggy backs when they were tired.  Lexi has been hiking on her own for years, and Zach doesn't like the stroller anyway.  There was a little more carrying than we anticipated, but it was still a great hike, through trails that we have less frequently traveled.

Lexi, of course, wanted to stop at every rock and stump to have her picture taken, and Zach  begrudgingly went along with the photo shoots.

We walked, chatted, listened to the animals, explained poison ivy to Zach, and Lexi taught us all about camouflage.  It was a great hike, to be followed by our first trip to Benson's Ice Cream for the year.  What a perfect kick off to summer!
