A LITTLE Hike?

Our house is in the perfect spot. We live right on the edge of a canyon, it's just beautiful! Well, we've always wondered what was down in the canyon, so today we ventured out, tennis shoes and all, to explore our surroundings.
I just thought of this as I started to write, but we went out our front door when we left......? Why? Who knows...Anyway so we had to climb over the wire fence to start out, that was a little difficult, but we made it. The hike started out being very mellow. A little hill here and there.

Stopping for a pic
Grey loved being outside.

Then we ran into a little problem, or should I say Grey did. Notice the small stick bush thing. Instead of walking around it Grey chose to go over it and got stuck on it. Silly girl. Making situations harder than need be.

So after this picture the hike got much harder. We (Ryan) decided to take the path less followed. Lets just say there wasn't really much of a path. We had to make our own. We went through tree branches, tall grass that felt like branches, mud, loads of mud. We all fell at least once. I got wacked in the face with a branch. Grey slipped on the only piece of ice out there.
But we had a blast! It was so fun being able to get outside and feel the fresh air.
See what I mean?

Mommy? Do I have too?

Poor Grey got a stick stuck in her hat.

We finally made it to the bottom and it was really cool. I guess there's a river that runs through there, but obviously, it was empty.


Yay! We made it!

Cheese

Wow! You're up so high!

I saw some great views on our little hike.

But I like this one the best!

After we played around in dirt for a while, we decided to start our trek back home. We found a much nicer path to take on our way back. Grey started cheering when she could see our house. She was ready to be home.

Yay! Our house. We are going the right way!

Isn't this the coolest picture! This was on our way back home. I just thought it looked so cool.

I hope you enjoyed hearing about our hike today. If you ever come visit us, we'll take you out there too! Come on...I know you wanna!
