Birthday Hike

Josh planned the whole day on May 31, his 29th birthday. The highlight of everyone's day by far was the hike to "R" mountain. It took about 20 minutes to get there and about an hour to hike half way up and back.
Sidra had so much fun climbing on the rocks. She is quite the handful because she has no fear and thought she could do what brothers did.
The boys were amazing. I didn't hear a complaint once. This was the adventure that they had been waiting for. There were quite a few slippery spots so we trained the boys on how to just fall on their bums if they kept sliding. That seemed to make them feel more in control. I don't think that we have ever had so much fun together.
Yes, I am about 5 months pregnant, but that didn't stop this mama. It was so much fun. I just love hiking.
We only made it half way up. We would have kept going, but when some other hikers told us that they just had to steer away from a snake we decided to just have lunch and then head back down. Not only was this a great birthday for Josh, but we all had so much fun we didn't want the day to end. Joshua and Daddy we love you!

I can't believe how big Sidra is. Last time I saw her she was so little sleeping in her carseat. Family hikes are the best.
