A Family That Hikes Together, Stays Together!
~by Cheryl
Our family loves the outdoors. One of our favorite things to do is hike! My husband and I started hiking while we were dating, and we’ve continued to do so throughout the last 11 years.
Hiking is a wonderful family activity because it combines exercise, beauty, photography, discovery, conversation, and laughter. Our kids know that if mom or dad says, “Hey, you guys want to go for a hike?” then chances are, we will end up hiking –no matter the weather! We have hiked in the snow, the rain, and the sunshine. We’ve hiked to waterfalls, lakes, and secluded groves of trees. We’ve hiked with food, without food, and for the point of a picnic. Hiking for us, is just fun! Here are some pictures:

We too love hiking, and now we’re showing our grandkids what nature has to offer. It’s fun listening to them as they see new things, I ‘m always waiting for those for those 4 words….
what is this grandpa? And this one we all remember asking our parents on trips…..are we there yet? But of course our questions are from excitement, not boredom.
My husband and I like to hike as well but the kids don’t like it much at this point. We like to camp and boat and play games. Every family can find something that they like to do together that will build relationships!
