Take a Hike!

Last week we picked a activity slip from our "missing daddy jar". It was take a nature walk. We didn't do it because it was too hot. (The kids picked again and it was make popcorn balls which turned out to be a disaster). I figured we could do the nature walk another day early in the morning or late in the evening. All this week Corbin has been asking to go on a hike. Here was the perfect opportunity to complete that activity. We made a plan. We made muffins the night before so we could get up before breakfast. We also made sure to do it on a Friday morning because that is the day we meet our homeschool friends at the pool and we would be able to cool off.

We got up a little early this morning, quickly got ready for the day and headed to White Tanks. We did the waterfall trail, hoping that the little rain we got recently would mean water up at the top (no luck!). Regardless, it was a nice hike. We heard a lot of animals, saw some lizards and birds and enjoyed some time together.
Hiking and swimming make for tired kids. And hungry kids. Next time I'll bring more food.
