Labor Day

Nate finally had a day off, completely. He didn't have to go into work for a few hours in the morning or anything. It was so nice! We didn't want to waist his freedom so we knew we had to do something. It had been raining the night before and earlier in the morning so we were somewhat limited to what we could do. We decided to go for a hike at a park close to our house that we had never been to. It said it had a boardwalk path so we figured we would be good with the mud factor. Well the boardwalk path was only the first 20 feet or so. However, we went on a mile and a half little hike anyways. The girls started out walking, but then it got way too muddy with hills up and down. It was so beautiful even though you had to watch every step to not slip and fall. Nate caught a toad for the girls to see and Bristol even held it. 3/4 of the way through Bristol was done with the bumpy wagon ride and the big hills and kept whining the rest of the way about how she wanted to get out of the forest. However, when all was said and done we had a great time. Now I still need to hose off the wagon because it is still caked with mud.

It's so pretty out there. Glad you guys had fun...and I guess we now know why Bristol wasn't born in the pioneer days huh? ;) I wouldn't have liked the wagon either.

Very pretty - reminds me of the trees in the Sacred Grove actually.

I thought the same thing about the Sacred Grove. It looks really beautiful. I'm glad that if you have to be far away you are living somewhere with beauty and playgroups. Thank goodness you finally got a day with Nate.
