Pilot Mountain and Hanging Rock


We decided, since Olivia is studying mountains right now, to take a trip to Pilot Mountain and hike around it. It was rather chilly, but we soon warmed ourselves up with some good hiking. 



The trail isn't that long, but there are lots of steps


Olivia found lots of places to hide





Gabe was mighty proud that he made it the whole way by himself

Even Ezra wanted to walk as much as he could.
 
Since we're gluttons for punishment and the trail at Pilot Mtn was only a mile, we drove over to Hanging Rock and added nearly another mile to our day. The kids weren't nearly as energetic this time, but they did a fine job of soldiering on.




The boys plodding along. We had to do quite a bit of waiting for them, but they made it. :)

Ezra found himself a walking stick for part of the walk back
