Day 100 Wow

Here we are at the top of the loop
Amazing that it's been 100 days.
  For the last day of Spring Break we went on a wonderful hike at Sky Meadows State Park. The whole family plus Jason went on this cool breezy Spring day! The green trees and grasses lined the trail, the birds were chirping, the violets were blooming, and the sky was a beautiful blue. We hiked 6 miles and saw an old homestead and beautiful scenery. The kids complained somewhat on the way up the mountain. It was a whole different story as we took the loop heading back to the car. Their attitude changed and they were happy and skipping as we walked the next three miles. I think life is a somewhat like a hike, going up hill is like the trials we may face sometimes they are very long and they seem that they may never end. But there will be a turn around point eventually and the world will seem greener and the trip will feel lighter and your feet will move a bit faster like the down hill portion of the hike. But without the long trek up you would have never had the joy and exhilaration of the grassy descent. It was a wonderful day to spend together!
