hike report - wednesday, feb 10

we hiked about 2.71 miles in about 1 hour today. the trails were icy and it was COLD! babies and mamas alike were bundled to the max - from blankets wrapped around babies, to mama-altered coats to fit child inside.

we had 5 mamas, 6 kiddos (as one of our brigaders wears 2!). we began with ganier ridge, but after just a short trek up the hill, decided to come back down, as it was slippery - not to mention the wind was pretty intense going up that ridge.

wish we could have done more, as our minimum distance is usually 3 miles, but we will just have to wait for the warmer weather.

we missed those of you that could not make it today - hope to see you all next week - it's supposed to be closer to 40 next week.

lastly, we are thinking of planing a FAMILY POTLUCK PICNIC sometime in March, so be thinking about that. we will work to get it past most people's spring break times... email me if a time is just not good for your family. it will most likely be on a sunday afternoon at one of the parks!

happy hiking!
