Hiking

We started the new year out at a beautiful 50 degree day which is hard to come by this time of year. Naturally we had to get outside so we headed out for a snowy hike. Everyone was thrilled to be tromping through the snow although we shedded clothes as we went. Only Mr. 7 actually returned to the car in full snow gear and even he had unzipped his coat.

Mr. 1 has been very unsure about tromping around in his snowboots but today he had a great time hiking along (as long as he was holding a hand). The older boys were great explorer and checked out everything along the path with their binoculars and jewelers loops.

 
 
 
 

One of the best moments was listening to Mr. 7 sing The Wheels on the Bus to Mr. 1 in the car but mixing up all the words so the wheels went "waaa, waaa, waaa" and the horn on the bus said "move on back". Mr. 5 thought it was hilarious and so of course Mr. 1 laughed right along. If the big brothers think it's funny, it must be!
