4 Miles of Fun
Posted: April 12, 2010 at 6:33 amCould you stay indoors if it looked like this outside?? 
I didn't think so. And neither could we. We knew we had to head out to do something fun. And Sawnee Mountain trail, a four mile moderate trail not too far from our house, was the perfect destination.
We packed up some water, snacks, and the dollface to hit the trails. 
Well, we had to have a little photoshoot before getting started as well. Who doesn't take a few minutes to snap some family photos before a hike? 
she thinks she's all that and she is
And during?? Addicted to the camera much? 😀 
Not all of the pictures were random, however. We did get some fabulous shots of the view at the top. This area is called the Indian Seats and it used to be a lookout point. Just breathtaking...
We also took the time to stop for a snack while up there. I munched an almond granola bar that satisfied me quite well.
Then, it was time to head back down the trail to complete the 4 miles. There was sill more fun to be had when we came to a playground close to the parking area.
After numerous trips down the slide... 
...battles to get her to climb the stairs (little chicken)...
notice her sad face
...and fun being tossed by daddy... 
...we finally headed home. My kind of Sunday! How was yours? What is your favorite part of a hike? The climb, the views, the workout, the company? I definitely think mine is to spend time with my family and have a 2 hour uninterrupted conversation with the man I love. But also, to pause and be able to look at God's created beauty. Which also makes me consider that I am part of God's creation and am beautiful to Him, so should be to myself. After all, my body is strong enough to walk the entire hike easily...with 30 lbs on my back. I guess you could say I love it all!
