This weekend we took Shay for her first hike. Her uncle Troy was in town, and he loves the great outdoors. Plus he's strong, so if she got tired he could carry her. Although that didn't happen, she out hiked us all. We did two 1 mile trails, complete with some slight hills. She had fun collecting leaves, acorns, and some other assorted things. Her favorite thing to collect was "Canada Leaves!" We also walked by a park ranger who was explaining how to tap a maple. Unfortunately, he wasn't tapping this weekend. Shay was disappointed. She also did not want to go home and wanted to hike all day long. The old people in our group were ready to go home.
We did manage to learn some new things:
 |
| We counted rings to find the age of the tree. | | | | |
|
 |
| We checked out rock formations. |
|
 |
| We observed towns in the distance. |
 |
| We had some opinions on other's conversations. |
 |
| We enjoyed a new hiking food- Slim Jims! |
We all had a great time. We're hoping to get some more hiking in before the winter hits. It's been a weird fall so far, so who knows how many more great weekends we have left.
