Our family hike

Aaron has wanted to go on a family hike for a while! The girls and Sheldon and Evan have gone with the YW and scouts and cub scouts, so I guess he felt left out! We finally had beautiful weather and a free Saturday afternoon. We hadn't ever hiked DOWN (literally) the Meadowdale Beach Trail as a family.

Here's the family when we reached the beach and the end of the 1 1/2 mile long trail!

Great timing with a train passing by =)

I told Natalie and Sheldon I wouldn't post this picture on our blog,
but I didn't promise... =)

Sentimental Natalie found rocks at the beach that spell LOVE =) Annaliese hung back with me for a ways
hiking back UP the steep 1 1/2 mile trail...
The surroundings were beautiful!
And although the hike was exhausting,
it was a great feat for us, on all 14 of our feet, =)
and a great part of our exercise program for those of us

    You were brave doing that long of a hike with little ones, but what a fun family activity! I really, really miss the Seattle beaches.

    Bryan just hiked that with the missionaries on Monday. I think we need to hike it as a family before we move. We did it when we first moved here, but not since Daniel joined us. =) As I remember, those steps are so tiring to come back up -- way to go Nichols! =D

    So fun! I love that you didn't promise them you wouldn't post that picture. I hear that, too. "Mom, are you going to put that on the blog?" =)

    I miss that hike so much! It's just a perfect hike and so close too. And I'm so glad you posted the pic that you said you wouldn't. Hee hee!
