On mothers day this year we went to the White Tank Mountain Regional Park to go hiking.
It was really nice. The trail we went on was very stroller friendly. Half was paved and the other half was dirt. It is a mile up to a waterfall
(only flowing after a rain storm) and a mile back. On the trail there were signs telling you what kind of animals and bugs you may see as well as the many types of cactus. They also had petroglyphs which were pretty cool.
Cadence and Brandyn did really well on the way up. They both walked the whole way. And even stayed on the trail. Once we got to the top there were some rocks the kids could climb on (which the kids loved).
Once they were done climbing we headed back to the car. On the way back the kids did really well until Cadence decided to run. Well being a lot like me she tripped. If she would have been playing baseball at the time it would have been an awesome slide into home plate, however she wasn't playing baseball. When she got up off the ground she was bawling. We picked her up, brushed her clothes off and washed off her hands and knees with some water. Both of her knees were scraped up,
and everything was fine until she looked down at them. Once she saw the blood I think that it scared her and she started crying again. Once she stopped crying we continued our journey back to the car. Maybe 2 minutes after we started walking again Cadence stopped and yelled "They are leaking!" When I asked what she was talking about she said "My legs they are leaking." Once we assured her that she was OK we were able to continue to the car. Every few minutes Cadence had to keep stopping to check and see if her legs were still leaking.
But other than that it was a great hike and we all had a blast. And saw some really pretty views.
