take a hike

We took a trip down to the hills on Saturday and went hiking for a couple of hours. My husband and I are going on vacation out to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons in a few weeks and he's trying to get us into shape for hiking. I know I should....but I drag my feet because I hate that burning feeling in my legs that hiking uphill brings. (I'm still feeling it in my calves this morning!)

Anyway, Daddy carried our happy hiker on his back again and off we went.She loved it. She especially loved getting down to the bottom of the gorge and getting out of the backpack and running around. She did a nose dive, which is why we're sitting on this log (I was comforting her and then cleaning her up), but she recovered just fine and was ready for the trip back up. Here are some of the things we saw.

This is supposed to be a waterfall but there was only a tiny little drip....can you tell we're in a drought?

This last one is looking out of a hole in the cave.
