Saturday Hike

Since J. was scheduled to work 13 hours of overtime on Sunday, we knew we would have to make the most of our one full day together as a family on Saturday.  Happily, the weather was gloriously sunny and mild and just perfect for a family hike.

We are proud to live in an area that houses the Oak Ridges Moraine and we take advantage of the hiking trails often.  Now that the kayaks have been sold, our attention and activity will have to focus on our hikes.  We hope to nurture a love of hiking in the twins.  If Saturday is any indication, we are well on our way.

  4. What a wonderful way to spend a family day! Can you email me the location?

    It will be fun to see pics of you there again later in the season when the trees bud and then are in bloom!

    Love that last pic of Pea peeking through the branches. Had to check though to see if it was Chick or Pea. They look similar from a distance when their heads are covered.

  5. Just gorgeous! Location and subjects!

    I love the freedom of not worrying about cars and sidewalks and such. It is great to walk and wander and explore.

    Keep smilin!

  6. I firmly believe that all children have a natural love of nature and hiking....it is "taught" out of them as they get older. Or.....it is nurtured and fed and they learn to love this creation with all their hearts. What a joy.
