The Hike

Hiking is one of our families favorite hobbies. Rob took the kids out one Saturday in January for a really long hike, probably about 3 miles. They came back with a little surprise for mom.

They told me that they had a new decoration for the house. I thought maybe they found some wild flowers, a cool rock or something like that....NO, the had found, and brought into our house, a fox vertebrae and skull. Spencer said, "Mom, we think it's a Red Fox, and guess what? It's dead!!" It was so funny.

So, if you come and visit us you will see some interesting bones way up on our bookshelf. The three of them were so proud of there find. I never know what to expect when they go out for a hike.

Wow that skeleton is cool! I bet it really adds to the home decor too. So nice that you can spend time together like that!

That's a little crazy and cool. Your kids are going to grow up and paleontologists.
