Hiking

Last weekend, we went hiking at Elk City State Park with some new friends. The trail there is 15 miles long, and while we didn't quite do the whole thing :), the part we did was so pretty. We'll be going back again soon.

Sutton likes riding in the hiking pack...he just talks and talks the whole time. Poor Adam has constant jabbering in his ear. This day, he kept saying "BIBLE! BIBLE!" :) The trail is marked by blue paint on trees and rocks so you know you're going the right way. Sutton loved finding the blue spots and was so proud each time he did.

Shae is 6 months pregnant and we hiked over 3 miles. Crazy lady.

This is Harley. He met us at the trail head and hiked with us the entire way. I called the number on his collar when we were back at our car. The lady who answered said they just live across the street and Harley is a rescue dog. His previous owners must've hiked there a lot because any time he hears people over at the trail head, he goes over and hikes with them. He was sweet and we were sad to leave him.

Adam got Sutton wet with a water bottle and he thought it was hilarious. Just had to mention that the wetness in the photo below isn't all sweat.

Weston and Shae were troopers, riding in our car 2 hours each way with Sutton. He was pretty good until the final 30 minutes of the trip when he started crying and getting mad from being in a car seat so long and not having a great nap.

On the way home, we stopped in Howard, KS for dinner. We found a tiny restaurant called Toots and had sandwiches and ice cream. A fun adventure. :)
