Hiking Day

Today was a great day. We had quality family time. Away from the house and the TV, and all of the distractions. Since Jacob has been having issues with 'over reading' OCD this was really good for him. We did two trails in about four hours. It is just so nice being in the middle of nowhere, only us, walking around, talking, picnicking in a field, crossing streams. Relaxing. I thought my back would hurt but surprisingly it did not, even though I carried the heavier pack to burn more calories. We even got some sun on our skin!
