Secret Trail

Ok, so yesterday I took Keegan on a walk in our subdivision. Our subdivision has a few mini-trails through woodsy areas. Most of the trails are only about 25 yards long and end in someone's back yard. Nothing real adventurous. But, yesterday I noticed a trail that I had never noticed before. We've lived here for over 7 years and I don't know how we missed it. It looked like a long, decent trail. I waited for Nathan to get home so we could explore it together.

Much to our surprise, it was an awesome hiking trail that connects to the park's trails nearby (the back of our subdivision is up against the back of a park). We never knew we had these great hiking trails at our fingertips all these years!! We put Keegan in the backpack carrier and hiked for about 45 minutes (which is all a pregnant lady can take at the end of the day).

We are super-excited now that we have this new hiking trail that is a real trail through a very woodsy area; there is even a creek!

Here are some pics:

I hope you can see the red arrows. The top one represents our house. The bottom arrow represents where the trail begins. That's how close we are; how did we miss this???

This hill was sort of steep but the picture doesn't do it justice.
My 2 favorite hiking buddies. This was the first time we've ever used the backpack carrier for Keegan (thrift store find.... $4!).

We can't wait to go hiking more and go further on the trails!
