The kids and I went for a LONG hike at Brinton Timber Trails today. I wish someone would have told me that if I walked til I got tired, I still had to turn around and come back......That climb up the bluff from the river about did me in! If you scroll down, you will notice it seemed to be a long walk for Alex too...Tyler came by and offered him a piggyback ride part of the way back. Wish I could have had one too! I did ask wyatt, but he turned me down. It was a beautiful fall day to be out enjoying the fall colors that God created this year. I don't remember seeing a fall this colorful for a while. Next time...maybe tomorrow...I am starting earlier and taking a snack to enjoy before heading back.
They had a contest for the best costume...surprise of all surprises, Alex got 2nd place! My older kids tend to make jokes about my costume making abilities....They were talking tonight about the time one of them wore a green shirt with tinsel and light strings wrapped around them and went as a Christmas Tree...Not a winner!!! Or the time we put a box over them and wrapped it in Christmas paper and called it a present....not a winner either....Bryn did win first once when I did a raggedy ann costume..but that is NOT the norm...creativity is NOT my middle name. Sounds like he had a wonderful time at the party though, with or without a good costume!!
