Pine Mountain Trail.

It is Cinco de Mayo and also Sunday. When we woke up this morning, for the first time in days, it was sunny. I decided we would HAVE to play hooky from church and go bask in the sunshine.

I cannot believe it, but I convinced Millie she needed to wear "hiking" pants!!!!!!!!!!

All sorts of things to be discovered on the trail.

The sunshine was wonderful. I have to be honest, I didn't feel bad about missing church at all.

I want to do some research on these things. I don't remember what they are, what they are called and are they edible??

We took a little break here to munch on some strawberries.

Sean said that this was not easy! I did have visions of all three of them falling in!

This might have been the coolest thing we bumped into out on the trail! A very small birds nest. I was having a hard time getting my camera to focus on the bird and not the leaves, but shortly after taking the photo, the bird flew out! It was pretty cool.

We did 5.5 miles today. I'm not sure on the time exactly, but here is the out and here is the back. By the time we were done, I was starving! My stomach was eating itself! The girls were hungry. Sean was hungry!

I did what any good mom (that plays hooky from church) does on a Sunday....

Her "ice cream" was birthday cake with sprinkles.

This is what I get almost every time we go! It is White Chocolate Wonder with chopped Reese's peanut butter cups and peanuts. Oh yeah!!!

What is left for this Cinco de Mayo? Well, we are going to grill up a flank steak that has been marinading all day for steak fajitas.

Happy Birthday to my Mother in law Phyllis!!

The Jordan's.
