So it seems like this family activity was a really long time ago. A month or so ago, Max was running and ended up really far into the forest and came upon a beautiful little oasis that was perfect to take our family to. There was a large tree across the creek and tons of rocks and creek access to for our boys to play in until night fell. We started our hike at our favorite park, Max really wasn't sure how long of a hike it would be and he since he was running and had gotten lost a couple times, so we just ventured out and hoped for the best.
Charlie had to throw a couple boulders into the creek before we started.

And my pictures all ended up blurry but whatever...we made memories!
And we are off on our hike. There were some steep edges so Max ended up carrying Miles for most of it. 
We finally made it after trekking through some mud and steep hills. It ended up being closer than Max thought. It was on a less traveled trail between our favorite park and our favorite forest. A new perfect little sanctuary.
The boys were prepared with their water shoes so we just let them loose. And they went for it.
After we were all wet and muddy and mosquito bitten we decided to head back before it got much darker. We even had this nice little balancing section on our hike back.
And there you have it, an excellent Summer (Spring) family outing.






















I can't get over how green it is there. Seriously it looks like a dinosaur could appear at any moment. Those last two are my fav photos I think but of course the ones of all your boys on the log too :) Have you looked into getting your blog printed into books yet? I have two years now, it's not cheap but it's so worth it and you have such a great family journal here, you need to do it too. That's all for that random rant. ;)
