Just a few weeks back Heath and the three older girls went out into the great outdoors. Now that the older girls are strong enough the opportunity arose for Heath to take them on their very first overnight backpacking trip. Packs loaded and shoes tied, off to the Juan de Fuca trail they go. I drove the whole gang to the Parkinson trail head for their 8km hike to Sombero beach camping sites. Now for most people a 8 km trail hike is alright but just keep in mind that 8km on the Juan de Fuca trail can be very tricky or like double the distance in 6 hours! Nothing but slippy mud and big steps as big as Thalia is tall...tough.. but according to the gang everyone was sooooo excited to out hiking. Each carried their own pack clothes, food and snacks...
Eden and I pick up the gang the next day and enjoyed a late afternoon lunch on the way
The welcoming committee.....right at the start of the trail.
