Sunday Afternoon Hike






We took a new route to a favorite spot with a large quartz deposit; it's hard not to love with so much sparkle! Along the way there was lots of flowers, budding trees, fungus, trees to climb, and life to chat about. We often remind the kids that part of enjoying the natural world is not scaring it away with loud voices when we hike. It's a difficult task for some. Today we mentioned we didn't have this concern because there have been bears in the area and so to enjoy the space and keep us a safe distance apart the kids could be loud. Shai especially enjoyed singing at the top of us lungs- lol! I am sure the mama bears were more worried for their babes!

You can really see how Ben and Elias' faces are changing in those top two pics. The quartz deposit looks cool.
