Since the weather is finally cooling off a bit, and we had a leisurely Saturday with nothing major going on, we decided it was the perfect day for a hike. The Blue Mountains are a quick drive from our house, so we filled up our Camelbak, made some sandwiches, and hit the trail. We hadn't hiked that particular trail before, and it turned out to be one of our favorite hikes in the area.
When we got to the top, we stopped to have lunch and let K-Man take a break from being in the pack. As you can tell from the picture above, he has discovered how to use the Camelbak, which is awesome! He is growing up so fast! Pretty soon, we're sure he is going to be racing up the trail ahead of us.
We made some fun discoveries during our hike. For example, K-Man thinks that blowing a dandelion is REALLY funny; and yelling in the mountains and hearing it echo is super fun (we're sure that all of the hunters in the area appreciated all of the noise we were making!). Also, K-Man thinks that pretty much all of the animal sounds we heard were dogs (he would bark back at them), and he would crack up when Mike would run up the trail and give him a bouncy ride.
Hiking does take it out of you, though! So a nap was definitely in order on our way down the hill.
