Our kids love to hike. The decision is never
if they should go on a hike... but whether to go North or South.
If they go North... it is up the mountain. There are trails and it is mostly in the shade. It takes about 2 hours for them to scale to the top and get back down again.
This day they decided to go South. Which means they exit the back of our property, go through some farm land, then end up at the river. There is so much to do back at the river, but the trek there is in FULL sun so they usually go later in the day. They always head out with so much excitement and energy.
Then they return totally exhausted! The exhaustion where they are like zombies... ready to collapse... and often do!
Savannah literally fell asleep here in the middle of the familyroom with noise and chaos all around her... no difference... she snoozed away. Very active kids sleep
so good!

How fun! I love that your kids get to experience adventures and nature and good ol' non-electronic summer fun. It really is a rare and happy thing these days.
That is so Awesome that the kids do that. It reminds me of my generation as that was the most fun around as we didn't have all the "toys" tv, etc that the kids have now. I love the picture of Savannah in complete exhaustion from doing something fun and good for you!
Reminds me of what my kids would do at my parents house in Spanish Fork Canyon! It is so good for them!
I've been loving catching up with your posts. Always entertaining down on the farm, huh?
