hiking

This past weekend I was fortunate enough to be able to go hiking,

without kids,

just me and my girl friend.

I had forgotten just how much I love it! 

I've tried to take my girls but they just aren't old enough; 

within twenty minutes I'm annoyed by their whining,

bugs!  dirt!  my legs hurt!  carry me?!

I love them but they make it impossible to enjoy.

I didn't even care that I was getting muddy or that my feet were wet,

I just took in every moment of it.

It was just what my soul needed!
