Embracing the opportunity

OK, so Sharon was right. You CAN go hiking in the rain. It is just a 'little' bit harder to convince your kids however. The weather in its bipolar psychosis state today shined a bit of sun so we decided to go...and quick before it changed its mind. 4.5 minutes after getting in the car we had a Florida like downpour. Luckily psychotic weather changes fast and it was gone about 2 miles later. We only had one episode of hail while actually hiking...that's not bad is it?


Here are some of the turkeys we met on our hike.

(Okay, not a turkey, because she's not mine...but she is VERY cute!)







(A couple of turkeys are missing. It seems when turkeys hit nearly teen age they are quite shy in front of the camera.) This is what we got...

Oh yeah, and REAL turkeys!

Yeah - you went hiking! And no, 1 hail storm isn't bad. The only thing I stry to avoid is hiking in a lightning storm. It looks like your kids weren't too unhappy - but it was probably better once they actually got out and about.

By the way - where did you go hiking?

Tim's hair looks much better than the last time I saw it. :)

Did you know the turkeys' names are Tom, Tommy, and Thomas? We learned that there once.

Laughing Marni...:) Yes I agree on the hair. Tim does too. Very creative on the turkey names eh?

oops sharon, I answered that question on the other post. Ogden Nature Center.
