Friday Wildflower Hike

We went on a hike with friends this past Friday morning to Short Canyon (about a 30-minute drive) to see the wildflowers. Usually poppies will cover the sides of the hills. Either we were too late, or perhaps too early??, or perhaps no poppies at all this year, a big difference from our hike last year:


Regardless, we did enjoy a beautiful day and the kids had lots of fun. Isabelle ended up hiking with the big kids--they went about half an hour beyond us (the moms bringing up the end of the trail with babies on our backs (or fronts). I was so proud of her!! She did fantastic. Here's a picture of Isabelle scaling the rocks with some of her friends:
I can't say Melina enjoyed being in the front carrier very much. She really wanted to be out running with the other kids.
