Gardening and Hiking

Ken and Janae planted a garden this year...

We have lots of yummy tomatoes and zucchini, as well as some basil, peppers, and a couple carrots.

On Saturday (August 31) we took a family hike up to Ralph Price Reservoir (Longmont's main water source).

We stopped along the way a couple times to have a snack...

...and take a rest after climbing up the sleepy lion trail. We even saw some bear prints and some birds. At lunch Janae asked, "why is it so quiet up here?"

The kids did really well, especially once we found walking sticks (which were an amazing mental tool).

The hike was about 5 miles round trip. Janae led the way and wanted to go hiking again (but not that day). Ken only carried Jonah about the last 3/4 mile. Pretty good for a six-year-old.
