Halloween Hike

The boys elementary school, in conjunction with the Eagle River Nature center, offered a Halloween hike today. I had so much fun hiking today with the kids. It was chilly outside and the boys and I were layered, but it was an absolutely gorgeous day.


Hy did a great job tromping around with all the big kids.

Here are the beautiful ice formations on the river. Can you believe that I saw Salmon in the river. Amazing. Hibernation doesn't begin until the food supply is all gone. . . so we were still on bear alert.



At the Education Yurt there were all sorts of fun games for the kids, oddles of treats, and hot chocolate. I really appreciated and enjoyed a reason to get out and explore together. Last week was a really rough for me personally, I am realizing more and more the comfort I find in these five little boys of mine, who are allowing me to grow up with them. I cannot say enough good things about them. To spend a great day with them, a really, really great day with them refuels me for the haul of life ahead.
