I finally got to get on some of the trails today. One of my buddies and I managed to hit 2 today, unfortunetly I did not bring my camera so don't have pictures of any of the fun stuff we saw. Our first hike was on the Auke Lake trail which turned out to be much shorter than we had thought. BUT it was a neat trail. Up and down small hills, in the woods. There was a cool fog hanging over the lake when we started that burned off by the time we finished. Ready for more we headed to the Dredge Lake maze of trails. And what a maze it was. We were quite thankful for all the maps posted otherwise I am afraid we would have been quite lost! My favorite part was a narrow trail that followed the shoreline. Everything was moss coated, the ground was even squishy in places from the moss. We also saw quite a few trees that were down from river otter's gnawing on them. Very cool to see the teeth marks. We got to test our Keen's several times as we had to cross a stream and ventured down a trail that was flooded. We ended up have to reroute and turn back. All in all we hiked for about 1.5 hours. I am very excited for our next adventure and next time will be certain to bring my camera!
As for the kids, school is going well. Little A LOVES pre-K. The poor kids had to get 2 shots today and has been limping around complaining about his leg ever since.
We are all happy that football season has started. Even the kids are into it. Last night we had little A was jumping around celebrating the packers last minute touchdown with mommy! Both kids are very upset they couldn't stay up to watch the 2nd game tonight.
I'll get some pictures posted soon, and I know I still have a few days of the AK RV trip to blog.
