A Hike In The Lincoln Woods

This past Sunday, we took the boys for a hike in the woods in Lincoln.  Gabe loved it; Zach had to be encouraged, as he often wanted to be carried.  Do they make youth Bjorns - he'd love one!

One of the highlights of the hike was looking for the path markers on the trees - it was like following a treasure hunt.  Another highlight was stumbling upon a couple of snakes slithering in the leaves.  The boys got a pretty big kick out of Mama's screaming at the snake.  For Zach, the biggest highlight was checking out the train tracks near the parking lot and getting to actually touch a real train track with his little finger.
