Family Day - hiking

Yesterday we decided to take a hike up where it was cooler in Blowing Rock. This was after I had already walked with my friend Leah that morning. 

We ended up at Price Park where it said that the hike was 2.4 miles, which I obviously thought was fine at the time, BEFORE we headed off.

Jake loved the creek and the mini falls that he found.

 This is Jake about half way in to the hike. We had no idea that our little hike would end up being for a hour and a half!

 This is Jake and I before we started.

After the hike we took Jake to the playground in Blowing Rock (suprised that he had any energy left to play). We treated him to some ice cream:)

We then came home and our friends Sydney and Avril came over that night to play.

It was such a wonderful day getting to spend time as a family doing something outdoors where the weather was cooler.

Next up is Jake's 4th Birthday party. Where has the time gone? It will be a Superhero/Spiderman party. Family is coming in friday night to help celebrate and the party will be Saturday morning. I will update after all the festivities:)
