Hiking in Salamonie

Josh and the boys gifted me with an Indiana state parks pass for Mother's Day, so we began our exploration of some local parks/reservoirs last weekend!  I am trying to brainwash the kids into thinking that they like to hike so that we can do lots of exploring during our trip to Colorado this summer. :)  So far, it is working perfectly!  They had a blast on the mile loop we did and keep asking when we can go again.






Dave and I out on the trail.














Ike walked all but about 10 minutes.  I was impressed!

















Ready to start the trail.

Trudging along!










We had never been out to Salamonie before (which is ridiculous because we live about 10 minutes away!) and we really liked it a lot.  I am excited for summer days when we get hit the beach!!  And we have several more trails to check out that are good for the kiddos.  Hoping to do a lot more of this type of post throughout the summer/fall this year!

In other exciting news-Dave learned to ride his bike without training wheels!!!  Here's a video of course.
