Sunday Funday – Abby's Conundrum

We spent all Saturday morning and afternoon cleaning and doing yard prep for the birthdays coming up so we needed to get out of the house on Sunday.

Husband and I have been wanting to start hiking with the kids but we were wary of how they would take it. But, we bit the bullet and it went great. We will probably invest in a good backpack for Zelie but other than than that we had a ton of fun. Caidoc hiked almost the whole way by himself. We were pretty proud. He wanted to keep going to Zelie started to get annoyed by the pack and wanted to get down and wiggle. I think we might try and go during her morning nap next time so she’s not so antsy and more willing to be placid for awhile.

Loving having an iPhone for all these pictures!

This hike was in Coal Creek Park in Renton. I've been wanting to do it for awhile because of the historical aspect. There is a sealed mine shaft and all these reminents of the mine- like these bricks. You can smell the sulfur when you get close to the shaft. CRAZY! — This hike was in Coal Creek Park in Renton.

There were several bridges going over the big creek that the trail followed. It was so pretty.

Zelie was not the happiest camper. But I think we can fix that with a different carrier and going earlier in the AM

My loves. This is right about where we turned around. Caidoc kept asking to keep going but since Zelie was being a pill we had to bail. I was actually impressed we made it as far as we did.

I'm trying to be better about getting pictures of me in there so the kids actually believe I was THERE for all these adventures. haha! — I’m trying to be better about getting pictures of me in there so the kids actually believe I was THERE for all these adventures. haha!

We took her out and she was much happier so I just carried her back.

Zelies perms-squinty face that she makes outside. I plopped her on the ground to get some wiggles out before we headed home. She was like "mom…its so bright" *it wasn't* — Zelies perms-squinty face that she makes outside. I plopped her on the ground to get some wiggles out before we headed home.

The whole crew! Yay for a successful first family hike! We can't WAIT to do more. Actually we are hoping it becomes our Sunday family thing. — The whole crew! Yay for a successful first family hike! We can’t WAIT to do more. Actually we are hoping it becomes our Sunday family thing.
