Nihahi Ridge



>


Well, on Sunday we decided to go on a little hike. It was a beautiful day, and we didn't want to waste it. So we headed out to the Elbow falls area to hike the Nihahi ridge. It was to be a 3-4 hour hike. It was quite steep, so after about an hour we stopped for a little break (that's where the pictures of Ella and I were taken). As we were there it started thundering and lightning so I requested we head back down. We got out our rain gear, and as we started hiking, it really came down. Then it started hailing like crazy. It rained and hailed the whole way down. Thank the Lord Josh remembered the umbrella - our little Ella was so warm and cozy she even fell asleep, doing her bobble head impression. (I was a little thankful for the rain, since it was one of the first hikes since the bear incident - except for with the teens - but what bear in his right mind would attack a group of 14 teenagers?) Gosh my hair looks bad, sorry about that.

You've been busy! Love the pics of Ella, and Josh looks so distinguished in his glasses! :)

How cool to have such great hikes so nearby! Ohio is mostly flat and Chloe is too big for the baby backpack so I'd have to hold her while we trek.

Karen,
Yeah we've been pretty busy, and it doesn't seem to be letting up any time soon. I love Josh in his glasses.
Nana,
She loves to stick that little tongue out
Alicia,
It's too bad that Chloe doesn't fit. It would be awful to carry her. I can't carry Ella for more than like 10 minutes.
