Today we went on a hike on the Mt. Baldy trail. My parents house is in the foothills so it only took us about 20 minutes to drive to the head of the trail. The weather was nice and cool and we loved the scent of pine in the air.
The hike was all uphill so I brought an exercise stroller for Naomi but she wanted to walk and she hiked the whole thing!
We also found some big dandelions so she was able to blow one for the first time!
Everything was going along fine until we got to a part of the forest that was swarming with ladybugs. There had to be millions of them. They were flying in the air, landing on us and all over the trees and bushes. From where we were standing we could see a fallen tree below that was covered with ladybugs. So I thought it would be a great idea to go down there and get a better picture. It was pretty steep and I slipped and slid but made it down. The trouble came on the way up. I was almost there and the dirt under my foot gave way and I slid backwards getting scraped by rocks and covered with dirt. Jacob and Naomi started crying and my Dad had to come down and help me. My right leg was really scraped up, bleeding, bruised and starting to swell. We decided to turn back and head to the car.
We ate our lunch while I propped up my leg and we were entertained by some very cute squirrels.
As I write this my leg is elevated with ice on it. I can walk but it is sore and tender, but the pictures were worth it!
