Another beautiful family hike

We enjoyed our last hike so much, we decided to hit the trail again and do some more exploring.  We drove out Garden Road and found a reserve where the hills were covered with beautiful purple flowers and the sky was filled with puffy clouds.  It was a perfect hiking day

 

We followed the trail but didn't know where it was leading to or how long it might go on.  We finally came to a clearing and saw an older woman walking her dog.  To me, this was a good sign because it meant we could be too far from civilization. :)  We sat for a rest and Ty of course found a fun stick.  He loved the hike for about 45 minutes and then he was ready to be done. 

Tatum did a great job but lasted about as long and then started asking for a piggy back ride. :)

 

The sky was just beautiful that day!

We finally found a map along the way that said we turned left and headed up this trail to find our car.  Thank goodness we happened upon these cool construction vehicles, it helped brighten the mood.

All in all, we hiked 3 miles!  We had to make a few rest stops but the kids did it.  Good practice for Tatum since she has a 5k coming up for her Daisy troop.
