A little hike...

Last week we took advantage of the beautiful weather and took the kids on a little hike out at Mathiessen State Park.

We picked up some subway and had a picnic before we started our hike.

We strapped the baby bjorn on Nate and off we went...

looking down with my zoom lens made me dizzy...

 

Grey insisted on bringing his binoculars and it didn't bother him one bit that he really couldn't see out of them-ha!

 hand in hand with his daddy...perfect;)

making our way across the bridge...

and slowly but surely we were making our way down to the waterfall...

Grey thought it was pretty cool that he could see the bridge that he was just on...

playing like boys do...diggin' in dirt and jumpin' over logs;)

Making their way across a little creek...

and we finally made it to the waterfall

Nate thought he'd be a 'show off' and go all the way over by the waterfall....the kids and I watched;)...CLOSELY

he was really getting risky and even went behind it for the kids....Grey was squealing-ha!

See him behind there....we were proud of him;)

and then he slowly made his way back to us...

After that it was the dreaded hike back UP...

Grey made it up the first set of steps...We tried to push him to go further by telling him it was Jedi training...but it didn't work and he proceeded to sit on the steps...Nate and I could not stop laughing...

So I held Sailor and Nate took Grey...Both of us got a pretty good workout and both kids fell asleep on the ride home...that's always a good sign that it was a good day...
