Spring break 2009! I took the week off to spend time with the kids and have fun in the....rain? SNOW??? It snowed on tuesday! I guess mother nature didn't get the memo that it's APRIL! That's why, when the weather finally warmed up on Wednesday (65 degrees), I decided to head up to Sawnee Mountain with the girls! I noticed online there were several trails to choose from, ranging from easy to difficult, but when I got there, there was only ONE trail! Later I realized that I parked at the WRONG entrance, so we got to hike the DIFFICULT trail! No problem! The weather is beautiful and the girls had TONS of energy....until about halfway into the hike! Isabella's "wegs" hurt, so I carried her all the way (a mile and a half!) back to the car on my shoulders! In spite of that fiasco, we had a great time! They are already asking to go hiking again, or as Isabella says, "go hiper!" I really enjoyed the trails at Sawnee Mountain because you really feel like you are out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees and mountains...then another family just like yours passes you with a smile and a wave!
We found several trees that were hollow inside. The girls took turns sticking their heads in this one and shouting "hellooooo!"
Taking a break with their hiking sticks.
They decided to do a little rock climbing....Isabella went around it instead....
Posing in all their triumphant cuteness...
Underneath a lean-to we found.
At the beginning of the trail.
At the treehouse.

I remember hiking years ago with my girls. We made a daytrip to the mountains and stopped by a pumpkin farm to buy a pumpkin to carve. It was a great day, but I too had to carry my daughter, who was three at the time for a couple of miles up and down a mountain. Now when we go hiking, they are having to urge mom to "Keep going, it is not much further!"
