Hike in the Ravine- Sun. Sept.13/09

     Well, we went to church in the morning, then had wanted to hit the trails in the ravine for the afternoon with a picnic lunch. We were able to meet up with some great friends to go on our hike and picnic with... the more the merrier =)

     With the twins in the chariot, Bryan carrying the backpack full of food, we were off- all 14 of us! The ravine is so beautiful, especially right now with the leaves changing color! We hiked for a while to find a picnic spot and had some lunch. Then... the fun began. The big boys, took all the kids (minus the twins) down to a stream. We heard a lot of "aaahhhhhh", "ooooooo" and "splaaaaaash"! Must have been lots of fun!

      When they came back "up", I gave each of the kids a paper bag and asked them to collect things... whatever they wanted! They each filled their bags.

    

A few hours of fun later- we headed for home.
