Hiking on Sunday

It was another pretty day! We went out to enjoy it.  We took advantage of Lon's new found love of hiking to go on the trails at St. Edward park. 

The trail head looks deceptively easy.  No problems. I should remember looks can be decieving!

This is the trail grade.  It is very pretty. I was not sore or winded but by the time we got to the water my right knee was just shaking.  I am now the proud owner of a new knee brace.

Lon is having a great time! He loves running ahead. The trail is so pretty!

The temperate rain forest! Moss on ALL sides of the trees

The trail marker, at the bottom of the trail. This is NOT at the top of the trail

Playing on the rocks in Lake Washington.

ohh, what is in here. This looks really cool!

Lon would only go into the tree if Daddy went in first. It was great once he was in there.

We went back up another trail, a moderate trail. Lon was losing steam the closer we got to the top.

The seminary building.

Once back up at the top we had to stop at the park and play.  The sandbox was first on the list.

Lon found a stick and played the pipes. He sang me me Twinkle Twinkle while he played.

Ta-Da!

Another thing on the list was to try every single slide at the park. There are four of them.

After our hike and playground tour we stopped by to see Reyansh.  He is getting cuter every day! I even got to cuddle with him, much to the consternation of Lon. He wanted to hold him and if he could not, I should stop right now!
