Last weekend, the weather was decent so we ventured up to Hatcher's for some blueberry- picking-family-bonding time. It was so fun to watch the boys hike through the tall bushes. Little Noah will do whatever his big brother does, so it makes the hike entertaining for Kep and I! They loved getting purple hands and we managed to pick about 4 cups before we lost their interest.
Kep and Parker hiked up to this abondoned cabin, the day before his 4th b-day, but they forgot to take a picture. So, we hiked back up there, as a family, to get a pic. of Parker with his capgun. If any of you love to hike... this is the perfect trail for young families. We have always loved hiking to Gold Cord Lake but the first 1/2 mile used to be slick and muddy and the last 1/2 mile involved (steep) hiking up large boulders But, this summer, they just cut out a trail to Gold Cord Lake that is very easy and follows along the pretty creek. And, it's no longer muddy as they put gravel along the trail- all the way to the lake. Noah was even able to run all the way to the cabin and Parker runs the entire way. Nice little family hike. This cabin is about 1/2 way up the trail so it's a good spot to stop and play (and snack)!
My four boys LOVE to hike!
