The Hike

July 29, 2011 Dale is trying his hardest to get us all more healthy so he wants us to hike more. This was more like a stroll than a hike but it was perfect for the grand kids and me. It was a nice trail with some great sights. We had a fun family outing.

Catherine making me nervous standing a little too close to a big hole.

Bailie was very curious about everything. 

Checking out a big slug.

Looking to see if anyone was watching...

Going in for the kill.  Okay not really the kill but she was curious and had to touch it. Benton was not putting his finger any where near that thing.

Benton tackles some very big steps with a little help from his Aunt Catherine.

Checking out a waterfall.

It was a great place to hike with so much to see.

Not wanting to be seen though was Gregory. This is what I got when ever I tried getting a picture of him.  This is also Gregg's idea of packing some liquids.  hahaha

Catherine, some guy with Gatorade and Jessie

Look at Benton's stride trying to keep up with Dad and Uncle Gatlin.

Bailie loves Uncle Gordon. He lives in one of the apartments Geoffrey and Jessie manage so she sees him a lot.

Taking a break.

The proud Papa.

Our happy hiker.

Checking out a very big snail.

Not to be out done by his baby sister Benton decides to be brave and touch the snail. Not only did he touch it but he picked it off the tree and dropped it. Poor snail.

Look at those innocent faces.

Catherine decided she had enough family togetherness and just wanted to get done.

This is where we hiked. We went about half way then turned back to where the cars were parked. It was just enough.

Hard to hide behind your Gatorade when you are down to two isn't it.  What a goof!

Coming out of the trail head.

A tired Benton, what a trooper he and Bailie were. I was quite impressed at what good hikers they were.
