It was a breezy cool morning but we decided to take repeat hike up Bull Run Mountain. Nothing like getting you blood flowing and the cool clear air in your lungs. Austin took the lead on the hike up and did a great job! A few weeks ago he went with the scouts on a hike and we decided to help him out with a new pair of shoes and some spandex. This seemed to help. Yesterday he told us that he had lost 5 lbs. When he told us this his eyes lit up. I guess the change in our diets and the physical activity is helping everyone. The hike up the mountain was great and seemed much easier than the trail we had taken up last time. On the way back we let Austin use his map skills. We got off onto wrong trails and then figured out how to get back to the trail we wanted. We had fun crossing streams with our new trekking poles. Which I must say I will never leave on a hike without them ever again. We were all a little tired when we finally made it back to the car after the 4 hour hike. The trees are green and the flowers were out and there were beautiful swallow tail butterflies along the trail. What a wonderful way to spend the day together! I sure wish we would have remembered the camera but didn't, so no pictures.
Can't wait to see Jessica's face tomorrow morning at 8:30 am She is taking the red eye tonight!
