hike report - wednesday, feb 24

I missed the hike today, but here is the report from one of our brigaders:

We had a wonderful turnout today, in spite of the cold! A quick headcount showed about ten moms and eleven babes (as one of our members wears two). For those who hiked both Ganier and South Lake trails, we hiked 3.5 miles today. We saw many new faces and several returning ones as well. About halfway through the hike, the snow flurries really picked up, giving us a beautiful vista. While it was certainly chilly, we all stayed warm with mommy-modified jackets and well bundled babes. It was wonderful to see so many hikers, and we hope to continue to see everyone again on future hikes!

february 24 & 26

I feel a little fooled by all this amazing weather since our Wednesday hiking day calls for weather back in the low 30s... but at least it won't feel like 19 (like it did last week).

hike report - friday, february 19, 2010

Sorry for the delayed hike report from last week! we have had a few under the weather around here!

Friday Fun Day this week had 6 mamas and 12 kiddos. We hiked about 3/4 of a mile, leaving from the Warner Nature Center. We had to of our older olders help one of the younger olders! It was so precious. We made our way back to the Mud Pit, as I choose to call it, and the kids proceeded to play for a good hour or so. Then a few of us had a quick little picnic by the Nature Center. We all left pretty dirty, but it was well worth the fun!

Happy Hiking!
