Last Sunday evening we decided to explore Jefferson Memorial Forest and met cousin Ava, Erika, and Grandma Kathy there too. We stumbled upon a trail and decided to follow it...without knowing anything about it. It was actually great- Caleb and Ava walked the whole way and Luke even got to walk himself when it was safe. There were times we got a little nervous, but thankfully everything turned out great and one and a half hours later we ended up at a picnic area that had a playground. At one point on the trail we passed three "real" hikers with backpacks, special water bottles, and crazy hiking shoes. Mind you Ava is walking in leather sandals and at the time I had an 18 month old on my hip. They either thought we were really tough or really crazy! :) It was a great evening and we will definitely go back (better prepared!)
A perfect spot along the trail for a picture
When the trail flattened out Luke was able to get down and walk, which he loved. You can see Ava and Caleb in the distance leading the way.
The kids loved checking out the turtle that we found.
It's so great watching these two together. They get along so well now!
Luke was SO happy and content on the trail that he went almost 2 hours without eating anything- a new record for him!
