theme: spring
The theme for this week's nine sides of sunday was spring. I wanted to take the kids on a field trip to Dripping Springs to take pictures. I thought it would be a good play on words: spring [season] and spring [source of water]. Once we got there, I realized that it was a three mile hike on a rough and rocky trail. No strollers! That is a little too far to go with seven kids and no help. So, we drove to the picnic site at La Cueva just down the hill. After a picnic lunch, we tried the trail.
Let me start by saying that we hiked less than a mile and it took us an hour and a half. Mia ended up carrying Echo or holding his hand. I carried the stroller. Mica held on to Johnny and we climbed up and slipped down a hundred times. That was the longest walk of my life! We didn't even make it to the actual cave. It was a lot of fun and I'll go back with the older kids, but it definitely wasn't toddler friendly.
