taking a hike

Thought we'd better soak up all this unseasonably warm weather before the real winter shows up.. so when Zoe suggested heading out to Castlewood State Park this weekend, we jumped at the chance.  What a beautiful fun place!  We will definitely be back.

We started with a hike up a very steep hill up the bluff.  Our Lady of Leisure of course suckered people into carrying her most of the way.


 Once at the top we enjoyed some beautiful views of the river and hills.



Uncle Zach was mostly tasked with making sure Colin didn't go cliff-diving.



Colin, holding court.  And short sleeves in December!


Guiness was there and the kids got to pet her, and a LOT of other four legged friends on the trail!


The kids were excited to use giant old trees as jungle gyms...

Dead tree see-saw: more fun than it looks.



"bunny ears" ... or C flashing the peace sign.



 The kids really seemed to enjoy the trip... we went about 3 miles on some steep terrain which is a lot for their little legs - but we made it with almost no whining and no fits!  So, totally worth it.
