Monday is Andrew's 31st Birthday, but we celebrated on Saturday. The morning began with banana waffles, eggs, sausage and orange juice, followed by opening presents, because Andrew has no patience. Then per Andrew's request we went on a hike around Cougar Mountain trails. Afterwards we went out to dinner at a resturant of his choosing. Overall I think it was a pretty good day and everyone had a lot of fun, especially Andrew.
Andrew brought a map, which was a really good idea because you could easily get turned around on these trails.
About 5 minutes into the hike Brent insisted he was tired and needed a walking stick. . .I think that stick weighed more than he did. We quickly found him a better walking stick.
This was the first time this year that Anna was able to wear her sunglasses. She is super cute!
Brent and Anna loved playing in the mud. By the end of the day their feet and legs were covered in it. . .just a sign that they had a really great time!
Anna got to walk Toby part of the way. Brent and her had a great time running with him. . .Toby enjoyed it too!
This picture was just too cute to leave out!
At the end of one of our trails was this pretty waterfall.
This trail was the reason Andrew wanted to come hiking here. It is called Indian Trail and it has been in use for over 8000 years. (Yes that is the correct number of zero's).

p.s., Brent's walking stick made me laugh out loud. So hilarious!!!!
ReplyDeletep.p.s., apparently my first comment didn't get posted, hence the "p.s." without something above it. But what I said earlier, was that the waterfall was beautiful. Also, is this trail near your house? You live in such a beautiful place. I love how you guys go hiking as a family. What a great way to spend a birthday :-)
