Sunday Hike

We found a skeleton...


Our reflections...


Puddles...






Birds & anise...


We tried to get to the beach...


But after stopping to check out lots of mushrooms...



And having to walk around several rather DEEP crevices...


We didn't feel up to the steep hike down ;)


It was a 2 mile hike. I had one of 3 kids on my back the whole time....


Afterwards, we stopped to rest our feet at the ballpark before walking home...
