Kays Creek Walk Way

Today we decided to hike up Kays Creek walk way.  We brought our lunch and the kids brought their rain boots.  We started at the start for the first time.  We usually park about 1/2 mile into the walk way.  I never knew where the start was and I finally discovered the start of the trail so we got to pass all the trail markers.  The kids were happy every time we passed another 1/4 mile sign.  They love reading the animals signs along the way.  The cougar sign is always the highlight.  After they read that sign they get a little freaked out and think that they hear strange noises for at least another 1/4 mile.  The other sign they like is the porcupine sign because it is the last sign before the bridge and picnic area.  The kids hiked really well and only Brynlee complained about being tired.  So she got to have a shoulder ride.  Once we made it to the picnic area the kids changed their shoes into their water boots and played in the water to cool off.  They had fun exploring and collecting rocks.  We had our lunch and Bryson even saw a snake.  They we hiked back which was much faster.  We love being outside and playing in the water.  The kids are blessed to live in an area with so many different areas to explore.
