7 Tired Caleigh but she made it under her own power! Happy mamma :)
8 The snack bench! What a view!
9 Kathy helped them pick it out - avoiding the hash.
10 Oh yes...the geocache stash. But in the cache stash was some hash! How interesting. I let the cache owner know right away - she was very apologetic although she can't help what ill-advised people put in there. The kids each got a chance to trade an item they brought for something in the cache.
11 Kathy, Caleigh and Anneliese as line leader - a much sought-after position.
12 Looks like a New England fall, doesn't it?
13 At the end of the trail - those boys STILL have energy for an ill-fated sword fight.
14 Caleigh hiking on her own!
15 I'm continuing to make peakbagger buttons for the kids - see all of them on Sam's pack.
16 Sam says he likes to hike with friend Aiden. He says "I like to talk to Aiden." Aiden is a chatter. Very cute to hear the two of them!
17 Diamond Head crater is visible in the distance.
18 This was a fun hike with the Tues adventure kids but a little high-maintenance. The "cliff" meant a rather steep drop-off into thick underbrush. Nothing catastrophic would happen, it would just be a pain to retrieve someone. So we enjoyed the hike but will reserve this one for older kiddos we think - like at least 4 yrs.
