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!

Today's FUN FRIDAY is canceled, due to inclement weather (and the fact that we're pretty sure we would be the only ones there, and we need to hit the grocery).

:)

Everyone have a safe, happy & warm weekend. We will see you all in February!

Happy Hiking!
