hike report - friday, march 5

we met at warner park nature center, hiked about 1/3 of a mile in about an hour. we had 2 mamas and 5 kiddos. we had plenty of mud and lots of fun. grateful for the galoshes, as the creek was a friend to all!

after our hike, we played hard in the 'mud pit' and then had snacks together.

small group, but great time!

happy hiking!

hike report - wednesday, march 3

we had a great hike today. we had 6 mamas and 6 kiddos. it was chilly, but nice. "Invigorating," said one mama.

I think we did more than 2.5 miles in 1.5 hours - we were without our handy iPhone ap. I think someone had a more accurate number, but I missed it somewhere! we saw a few deer and lots of birds of many kinds. conversations were pretty awesome today. I am surely grateful!

I think it's safe to say we are all looking forward to warmer weather! COME ON SPRING!

hope to see you all Friday (for olders hikes) and next week. Get your friends to sign up for our email updates, even if they cannot hike with us during the week, as we will be getting some weekend and other events coming soon!

Happy Hiking!

hike at radnor lake (franklin road side)

I have a feeling we will have a large group this week, with some new faces and a few that haven't been in a while! I am super pumped! Come ready to hike. If we need to break-off into separate groups for new members, we will definitely do so. No one ever hikes alone!

warner park nature center (off hwy 100)
go south on hwy 100 and just past old hickory boulevard, the entrance will be on the left. come to the left once in the park and we will meet in front of the nature center. we will hike about 3/4 miles then play in the 'mud pit.' feel free to bring a lunch and stay for a picnic.

happy hiking!

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!
