Hiking with Friends

We've been on a couple hikes with some friends of ours. Usually we hike into June, but it's already so much hotter this year that I think we'll start playing at a nearby reservoir soon.

Hiking in the foothills near our house & the reservoir-

Sophie is Miss Independent - she doesn't want to be in a stroller, backpack, or to be carried. She wants to walk by herself and pick up every rock she sees. So she and I are occasionally (often) at odds with each other - her stopping and me urging her to come along.

  

This is the time of year we can watch the butterflies and months "puddling" at the reservoir. The kids like to see how close they can get to the butterflies before they fly off.

Every good kids hike has water :)
