Going Hiking

Around 11am this morning, the kids left "on an 8 day hiking trip into the woods". They had books to read in their backpacks and their "hiking rope" so the twins wouldn't get lost. Less than an hour later then were back on the deck thirsty and hungry:) They settled for a picnic lunch on a beach towel in the driveway sitting in the shade.
Hannah keeps saying that she wants to go camping since she's heard some of her friends talk about going this summer. We may need to do a trial run in the backyard one night with a borrowed tent.
(Disclaimer: I could see them from my kitchen window all the time. In their minds they were miles away from home. Such fun times!)

I love this story. I miss being a kid. I didn't ever care for camping though unless it was on the bus.

Nothing like a hungry tummy to bring a hiker running toward home. Good thing your uncles weren't with you; otherwise, I'm sure some kind of critter would have made the trip home with you!

Love,

We are going camping this weekend. But we will be in a trailer with nice warm beds. Love the pictures:)
