Today we ventured out to Griffy Lake for our first hike in Bloomington! We soon located a map (Tori was so excited) and then we were off!
Tori made sure we stayed on the right path and Garrett ate many a pretzel!
Tori has figured out the secret behind never getting tired when hiking. She would run up ahead and then stop to take a rest at every good log we found. Occasionally, she would let us join in on the rest before she would take off running again! (Garrett is eating another pretzel!)
Garrett decided he still wanted to eat pretzels, but he didn't want to walk anymore. Daddy was so nice and gave him a ride for a bit!
Garrett and Tori found some interesting logs to rest upon!
Jared finally found a way to encourage Garrett to walk on our hike- give him a stick and let him hit anything non-living he would like!
These two had such a grand time exploring!
Having two sticks is way better than having only one!
Tori used her stick to dig for buried treasure! We struck out today, but there is always next time!
Garrett's favorite thing to hit- the old leaves still hanging on the trees from last year. Hey, at least he was walking!
Daddy got to take a break this time around!
The last portion of our hike was pretty steep!
Garrett took a couple good spills- so sad.
Garrett's tears were soon gone as we finished up our hike and discovered the lake. Throwing rocks and sticks in the lake...
made for one very happy little boy!
Tori loved seeing how far she could throw her rocks!
Love these two munchkins!!!
Griffy Lake gets two thumbs up from us- I'm sure we'll be back!!!
