Scenes from a... 🚶

HIKE!

DH wanted to go for a hike on Father's Day, so off we went and only a few miles away from home.


Years ago when we were there last (and I means years ago) this reservoir was a mucky area, but now filled back up with water. Gman2 got his shoe stuck in it way back when, but luckily didn't lose it!


DH and his boys!


Chewie very interested in the turtle we came across.


Hardly anyone was there except for some people fishing, and the kayaks in the water. You can see the kayaks at the edge of the water.


Beautiful day for a hike.


As usual, I'm behind everyone else. Stopping to take photos doesn't help!


I found some love on the trail.


Fabulous field of ferns and shrooms!


Our clan


And finally, time for a rinse off before heading back home.


A lovely Father's Day, ending with steaks on the grill for the guys and DH's requested iced sugar cookies for dessert!

What super photos. Nature is so pretty and your family pictures are wonderful, it must have been so great having them all together. My DH had to settle for two phone calls from the men(formerly boys) in the family but we did spend the afternoon with our daughter.

Fantastic Father's Day adventure. Thanks for sharing.

What a nice outing! Something cool to do with the whole family. I bet Chewie enjoyed himself, too.

Beautiful walk. Nice to see pictures of your family and Chewie. Hope you were able to let him/her off the lead!

Such a beautiful place to hike and plus that it wasn't crowded. I enjoy taking photos too, neat hearts and I have a thing for mushrooms! So many varieties. Lovely family photo to remember this Fathers Day.

Looks like both a beautiful place and day! That is a great family picture too. Hope Chewie feels better soon.

What a great way to spend Father's Day, with all your boys together and a nice walk out. The lake does look lovely now.
