Hiking!

Days that I go hiking with my boys and other special people are truly perfect days. It is one of the moments in life where I feel spiritually connected with my hiking mates and with our beautiful surroundings. It's like I get to literally escape the everyday norm and I get to jump into a place where I can relax, explore, and share my inner thoughts with others....I hope they don't mind listening. Luckily for me, I had the opportunity to hike one of our favorite trails twice in one week. The first time was with my mom, my sisters, and all our kids, and the second time was with my sister Wendi and her boys...otherwise known as the "Adventure Club"! Here are some great pictures of our explorations:
