This year for memorial day we decided to do something a little different. We went hiking, or what can pass for hiking in Texas that is. It ended up being a beautiful day! It was slightly overcast in the 70's and it was so fun.
Overall we hiked 3.6miles. The kids were troopers. Emily was carried in a backpack and Abby and Briggs hiked the majority of it. There were a few times they needed carried but I was really impressed at their stamina. They were a little upset mom left the snacks in the car but at least I grabbed the water :)
We have never been to this trail and it ended up being really beautiful. It took us a few times to find the right trail,that didn't dead end, but we did it and it was a great time.
Getting started. The kids we so excited!
Emily is a little unsure of the pack...
See those giant arrows? The kids were running all around and I had them stop and take a picture. Then they ran ahead again. As we walked past the spot Seth says "look at that" there was a giant snake in that grass. It was really thick and probably about 3 feet long. Seth thought it was a water moccasin and wanted to get a better look. I thought "your crazy! lets get out of here"

This is what I looked at most of the time. Love those chubby little legs.

Going down into a ravine with my baby
It was pretty steep
Strike a pose! Look at Abby!
This is pretty funny. A few times one of us would run ahead and jump out and scare the kids. Good times.
This is what Briggs did when we got home, fell asleep standing up. What a trooper.
