Summer Project: Weekly Hikes

I've been taking the girls on weekly hikes in the local mountains along with some other moms and their kids this summer. We've been on three so far: Monrovia Canyon Park, Switzer Falls and today we went to Millards Canyon. Each hike ends at a beautiful waterfall. We go in the cool early mornings and are usually home by noon.

After reading this article: How the City Hurts your Brain, I've decided to make sure the kids and I get out at least once a week to hike in the woods - to be in nature, drinking in the quiet declarations of God's glory and receiving the stress relieving benefits of rustling trees, babbling brooks as we learn how to "adopt the pace of nature."
