Seeing as how Amy had 3 photo shoots on Sunday, Ben and I decided to get out of the house and do a little hiking out at Lost Maples. We had planned on meeting some friends out there on Saturday but Amy wasn’t feeling too well and she wanted to rest up for her busy day on Sunday. Since she was going to be in and out all day working I decided to take advantage of the cool weather and get some exercise.
Ben and I left the house with Daisy around 9am with a packed lunch, water and plenty of snacks. We made it to the park, headed out on the West Trail (4.9 miles, our usual route) and made it up to the summit right around noon. We took our time with plenty of pit stops, “cave” exploring and lots of “boulder” excitement. Ben told precisely every hiker we passed to “watch out for boulders”. That got plenty of laughs and smiles along the way. All in all I think I carried Ben on my shoulders at most 1/3 of the total hike.
My little 3 year old is quite the trooper. I felt like an accomplished parent when he slept the entire way home.
