Hiking day today!
We decided to shirk responsibility. Mike needed to mow and do lawn work, I had bathrooms and vacuuming that were screaming my name. But we decided to go for a hike instead, and boy am I ever glad we made that decision.
Here are the pics:

Our kids are tree huggers. Or at least we want them to be.
I'm a sucker for a good leaf picture.
Back story in case you were scratching your head: It was December 2006. Mike and I headed out Museum Center for a company christmas party. For some weird reason I was feeling incredibly tired. Then we started looking at a photography exhibit. There was a picture of beautiful fall leaves in a stream. I started crying because it was just so....beautiful. (And by the way, I'm not a frequent crier.) Then we found out a couple days later that we were pregnant with Carter. That explains a lot, we should have known!

I can't believe that both older kids hiked an entire mile. There was quite a bit of whining and complaining at the end, but they pulled it out. It's funny how they were too tired to walk another step, but we had little "races" and that motivated them to finish the last quarter mile.
