Hike Out

Dropping leaves in the river and watching them swirl away.

One Monday evening for Family Home Evening we went up the canyon to roast marshmellows and hot dogs. It was a brisk autumn evening and we were glad we had the warmth of the camp fire as the sun faded away. Benjamin was so delighted to be outside that he wanted to know if we were going to have a camp out. When we said no, but we were going to have a camp fire and roast marshmellows Benjamin asked if we were having a hike out since we had to walk across a little bridge into the forest. I thought that was as a good a description as any while laughing and when we were done with our activities I asked Benjamin how he enjoyed our "hike out" and he said he had a lot of fun and wanted to do it again.
