After a morning run, some of us opted for a donut run, we decided to hit the neighborhood trails for a little hike. We hadn't explored them yet, so we took Uncle Kyle and Kayla with us to do some trailblazing of our own in the greenbelt behind our house. :)
We begin the adventure without even being able to locate the trail head that is supposed to be right around the corner...that should have been a sign. :) Creating our own route we head out in search of the lake. Crossing over a stream, then back over it again the kids were collecting treasures along the way. Mr. D was collecting sticks and bones. Little Miss A was collecting crystals and flowers. (Again with the differences...this was cracking us all up.)
We finally got to a road that we could follow, granted there was a barbed wire fence that we all had to jump over in order to get to the road, but we did it. Hard core, right? ;) We follow this road downhill figuring this is the best way to get to the lake and on the way pass some amazing houses and stables. Uncle Kyle and Kayla got a very up close look at some longhorns and Little Miss A and Mr. D got to feed the donkeys and horses. :)
We found the lake and watched the kids throw in rocks and almost fall in at least a dozen times.
Then it was time to head back, however that was going to be. The kids were exhausted, so wound up in piggy back for some of the trip back.
We followed the road and ultimately found out where we were. (A section of the neighborhood we had never been to before.) What an adventure. Kyle checked the map to see how far we were from the house (we saw it from the road on the trip back so we figured we couldn't have been too far.) As the crow flies, not even a mile from our house...sheesh!!! Oh well, it was still fun! :)
