At this point I'm just trying to catch up before you catch on that I'm back-dating everything.

This hike is celebrating our 40th birthdays with another couple who both turned 40 this year, too. And another friend. Who's not 40.   There's a trail system called the 4T (get it?) Trail that we thought would be a clever hike for our station in life.  But not for our kids (too long).  So we hit a Forest Park trail.

The hiking crew.  Resting.  "If you all look at the camera, we'll give you some snaaa-aaacks."  Kids will do anything for a snack.  Is something you learn once you're 40.

Mila and Miles, having a great conversation.  Over (about?) their snacks:

Not staged. I swear.

And then there was this cool tree.

Where the kids jumped and played for awhile.
