Hiking to High Adventure
The first part of the trail was nice and open and DominicsMom used the opportunity to make sure hats and sunglasses were in place. Everyone did well although it was really hot. Joss was a real trooper, starting and finishing under her own power (but we carried her almost the whole middle part...)

A little bit later, the hats and glasses are coming off as everyone heats up a bit. 'We've been going for 30 minutes...It's only two miles, we have to be close to the half way mark.' Yeah, right.

Some parts of the trail were pretty narrow and overhung by scrub trees. We didn't mind too much as they provided some much welcome shade. However, with Joss riding on my shoulders, I didn't always duck enough. Check out the twigs in her hair.
The whole trail took us 1:45, much longer than we anticipated being out. The kids were really good and did not complain too much. I explained to Dominic and Jocelyn that the hike was 'High Adventure'. Dominic said he liked high adventure, but was ready for the hike to be over. He didn't sound too keen for another hike too soon.
We headed home and everyone took a bath or shower. Joss never went down for a nap, but Dominic passed out no the couch.
