It was a sunny warm day today.  I discovered a park/trail from a yelp search yesterday which was less than 10 minutes from home.  So we decided to go for a short hike, and the boys were excited with the idea.  Logan also asked if we were going with Mckayla; it was nice that he brings up his friends on his own sometimes.  When we arrived at the entrance in just 8 minutes, we found ourselves in a beautiful and quiet wooded entrance to the park.  There were flat and steep trails, so we picked a flat one to walk on.  Logan enjoyed walking, and was taking the lead at times.  He did get a little huffy when we decided to make a U-turn back on one trail as he felt like he was suddenly left behind.  Connor walked some on his own, probably half of the way, but mostly preferred being carried.  We were nicely surprised when the trail ended at a local small playground.  The boys enjoyed the change in activity; they had fun playing at the structure for a little bit and had a snack.  On the way back, we saw a woodpecker pecking away on a tree; we all loved this little fun moment.  We completed 1.16 miles (according to my phone GPS) and it was a fun outing.

   We then rushed home to have lunch as I had a planned outing with Robyn at 2pm.  After we ate, I was tired so I decided to lay down with Connor to get a power rest.  I then left the napping Connor with Logan and Stuart and drove to the Los Gatos Creek trail to meet up with Robyn.  I signed up for this Nike 10K run/walk since Robyn was willing to walk with me instead of her usual running.  We walked in a good pace and we talked the entire time.  The trail was beautiful and we basically walked past three different parks.  Toward the end my hip/legs started getting tired, but it did not feel long at all when we completed a 6.6 miles in two hours.  I was happy with our long chat and a great exercise.  I went straight home after saying bye to Robyn.  The boys were enjoying the sunshine in the front yard.  Logan and Connor were having fun playing with a long cord; they told me that they were working on a project. 

   The rest of the evening, my legs were so sore.  It is nice to finally put my legs up after the kids went to sleep.
