We are very lucky to live in Southern California. We have an incredible climate with Oceans, Lakes, Mountains, deserts etc. and lots of things to do in those places, if we choose to take advantage of them. While Doug and I do stay pretty busy we kept talking about doing more. Do we go Ocean or Lake Kayaking? Sailing? Surfing? Hiking?
Can you guess which one we choose to attempt first?
HIKING! and we even took Zach. Hiking seems like a cool thing we can do to workout together and as a family. We really want to do active things with Zach as he gets older, showing him how important it is to be fit and healthy, hopefully we can keep it up!
We went to Malibu Canyon State Park and took a trail to the old MASH site (as in where the show MASH was filmed). It was a lot of fun, we loaded Zachary into his Baby Bjorn (world's greatest invention) and took off for the hills. I think we did a good job our first time out. It wasn't a super hard hike (with the exception of one monster hill), but we did a 3 hour jaunt. Unfortunately, we somehow missed the actual MASH site, (I think I made Doug turn around 5 minutes before we got there). But we did hike. And Zachary LOVED it! He was looking around at everything all wide eyed, it was fun to watch him.
And in case you are wondering Hiking is a lot like walking, just off the beaten path on rougher terrain, that actually does make a difference on your body the next day! We probably could have taken a better bag (not our typical diaper bag) but it worked just the same!
Our goal is to keep checking out different trails. Feel free to join us!
Here are some photos..............
We came back and watched South Carolina Football, despite Zachary's best efforts they weren't able to pull off the win against Arkansas. Hopefully it will be better against Florida next week.
