Our Sunday

It has been a while since we got the chance to go hiking as a family, but we ventured out in a different part of the forest than we usually hike in and it was an adventure!

While everyone was still clean and dry.
Very beautiful little spot. Shortly after this, things got interesting.
As Joe was taking the picture of this very interesting tree, the dogs ran ahead of us, as they usually do. I saw Kolbe run off the path and flop down in some dirt and start rolling around. As we walked by his spot, we discovered that it wasn't dirt he was rolling around in. Apparently, one of the cows that they have in the forest ate something that disagreed with her and she got, um.... loose stools. And Kolbe rolled thoroughly in her loose stool :P
Well, then we came to a little creek crossed our path. Isaac insisted that he wanted to walk across the logs by himself and it was maybe 8 inches deep at it's deepest, so we thought we'd let him go ahead. Well, you might imagine what happened next. He slipped off the log, and fell in. As he was trying to get his grip to get up, he dunked his head in the water. Mind you, Joe was holding his hand the whole time. He was sopping wet. And the path had really loose dirt, so then his shoes got all muddy.

Before we went home, we found larger creek to get the poo off of Kolbe (Joe got that unsavory job) and then we returned home. We all got showers and baths before Church!
