Taking a Hike

Last weekend, we took a hike in Umstead Park. Why have we never done this before??? How have I lived in Raleigh for over 10 years and never taken advantage of this beautiful resource which is practically in our backyard? It was really fun!

We hiked around a pretty lake and attempted a trail- our pace being challenged the whole time by a pokey toddler pulling up the rear. She found that pulling bark off trees, jumping off stumps, and chasing us with sticks was far more interesting than completing a trail.

We've promised her that before it gets cold we'll go back and take out a canoe!
