Hiking or Taking a Walk?

We've been spending our Sunday afternoons enjoying God's nature by taking walks on public trails in the woods.  After telling Faith we were going to do another walk one Sunday, she heaved a sigh and said quietly, "that's boring."  What!  Our Faith bored with being out in the woods?  Then she explained, "Walking is for old people but hiking is what's fun!"  Is there a difference?  I guess there is according to Faith! haha   So here are some pictures of our last two walking  hiking trips.

Here is your friendly nature guide to take you "hiking" with us.



See the mother and her ducklings?



Keep up with the nature guide....

 Yeah, we're coming.....


See the rope swing on the left for the swimming hole?  I think our nature guide is getting distracted....


A good place to put your fishin' pole in....



Us "old people" gotta take a break from all of this "hiking"...



Why didn't we find this nice bench earlier when we were taking a break?


Checking to see if we are keeping up....


On Mother's Day Sunday we took pesky brother along....please don't push her in the water!


Gotta cross over to the other side....


Made it.




Is Faith planning revenge on the 'pesky brother'?


Here's pesky again.....trying to get in all of the pictures.  He thinks he can hide behind those glasses but we all know who he is.


Keeping up with the nature guide again....watch where your walking it's muddy there.


Are there alligators in there?  No, he was wondering why they put two planks down to walk on; can't people walk on just one plank?


HONEYSUCKLE HEAVEN!    This trail was full of honeysuckles!  The smell was just wonderful!!!
Can you smell it?



This is not honeysuckle....it's may apples.

mmmm...smells good!

Hmmm....should we go to Maine or Georgia?


Whew!  Need a rest?  Have a seat.
Please tell me how this chair got here?!?

Yes, Aunt Melissa, I agree with Faith, there is a difference between walking and hiking :P Looks like a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon! I know, Faith, Nathan sure knows how to be a pest! :P Just Kidding, he's pretty awesome! ;)

This looks like a lot of fun. Lark and I have been doing more "hiking" and biking lately. Also, David had a friend at school who took him somewhere near there where there were small alligators - that's only about 45 minutes away! yikes! :) Chris

Great pictures! Like the May Apples, log across the creek, and the chair in the middle of "no where".
