Hike at Sunset

I'm trying to catch up on blogging my flickr pics. I start getting upset when my pictures are stacking up and I haven't blogged them. :)

We went to feed the chickens over the weekend and then took a short hike down the street. There was a historic stone building at the beginning point.

Look! I actually do have more than one child. Rare occasion that anyone other than Clara would sit for me. He was happy here. I told him to look bored. lol

You can see the unfortunate spot where she cut her own hair. (sigh)

I was so happy to finally not be in full sun. The setting sun cast a warm light everywhere. I loved it!

Um, could you stop taking pictures for a second so we can get this show on the road? See how bored they look?

I did NOT tell her to do this! Do you believe me?

My absolute most favorite of all! I love how the setting sun is right between them and how her little rear end is shimmying and shaking as she runs to catch up. lol

Now I've got to get myself going. We're running a small load of stuff up to the new house. :)
