JB's first hike

We finally got out as a family of 5 and did a short hike - about 1.5 miles round trip, at best but it was great. The weather was beautiful and it was a very shaded hike with just enough uphill to burn some energy. The two older boys did great. They are starting to figure out if you don't watch the trail, you will take a dive. J had one big trip while he was crossing a very small (depth wise) stream. He did not like the cold water. We actually got a really good family shot again while hiking
.


I have been playing with a few features on the camera and for some reason, love the eye shots. It is not too hard to tell who is who....(I tried to get one of JB with his eyes open but the red eye flash kept freaking him out). I don't know if all babies are not born with eye lashes, but JB did not have one when he was born. I am amazed how fast they have grown in 5 weeks. He might end up with beautiful long lashes like the other boys after all.





We also bought a fire pit for the backyard today, so looking forward to roasting lots of marshmallows and spending time out back as the days get shorter and the evenings get cooler!



One more pic of JB...still trying to capture that accidental smile....

Great shots! I'm glad you're still finding ways to live out doors with a brood of kids. Your kids do have precious eyes!

Amazing how they all can look sooo different. Mine all have different eye color: blue, green, brown.
Your kids are precious!
