Perfect Hike Weather

I was supposed to spend Saturday finishing my latest project, but that was delayed because of the weather (stay tuned for my post/rant about this). I decided to take the girls for a hike. Tarja brought her kids too and and we dressed them for a hike in the mud since it had been raining and was threatening to rain even more.

The morning turned out to be perfect. The rain had brought nice cool weather, but it hadn't soaked everything so much that there was much mud. In fact, the moisture had just wet the dirt enough to keep dust from blowing everywhere when the kids ran through it.

There were a bunch of cyclists riding the trail that day, so to keep the kids moving at a reasonable pace, we challenged them to see if they could catch them. We were surprised to turn a corner and see that indeed the kids had caught up with them while they prepared to bike this hill.
Racing the bikers up was motivating-Reagan and Cara even beat them to the top :)
The hike was so much fun with the perfect weather and thanks to the bikers for giving the kids something to work for.
