The forecast said 3 days of rain, so my friend Tara and I wanted to get the kids out to do something before we were stuck inside all weekend. Our solution: a nice hike at the Santa Rosa Plateau! It sure was beautiful!
The kiddos had a great time climbing the giant boulders all along the trail.
Stryder took his time, so every once-in-a-while Abby would come running back, grab his hand, and escort him to the group.
The kids found a nice stream to throw rocks into.
Tara kept the kids motivated by having them search for the numbered trail markers.
They found holes...
...and giant sticks!
The two little guys were sure cute trying to keep up with the big kids.
We stopped to climb every set of giant rocks.
And then we stopped for a snack.
Abby found a cool log.
And climbed a big tree.
The last part of the trail had been recently burned, and looked pretty cool.
We had such a fun time! Later that night while Abby was in the bath, Tom washed behind her ear and she screamed! He looked, and found a giant tick that had embedded itself behind her ear. Ouch! Poor thing! The pediatrician instructed us not to take it out ourselves, but to go to the urgent care. I will post pics and the full story soon. Ick!!
