What A Day

Ok, so I'm out here in Cali with other wives and mothers whose husbands sale security systems. The hubbies have a rigorous schedule which leaves all of us help meets alone pretty much the whole day and night (not exaggerating either). So naturally we get bored, right? So I decided to get more involved and find out what's going down on this side of the bay. Free stuff of course! I'm all about saving a buck or two and capitalizing on community events etc.. So I planned this hike that I found on the Internet. The site said it was like .7 miles, not even a mile. Classified as super easy, very beautiful, lots to look at including butterflies. And it's just right down the street from our place. Thought to myself "SWEET!". I was trying to be considerate about the length of the trip since everyone has little ones. I persuaded 3 mommy's to come with, telling them that it was going to be awesome blah blah blah blah. To make a long story short, it turned out to be a disaster! I had no idea the trail head started 11 miles from the gate (It's a good thing we all took our cars), nor did I realize the elevation, extremely windy roads (I wanted to vomit as soon as we stopped), nor did I check my fluids in the car, Yada yada yada We had to pull over about 8 miles because we were not prepared for this hike, which left us with very hungry and angry babies. I forgot to mention screaming the whole way up and down and it's not like we can pull over unless we want to go rolling down the mountain AAAAAAAAAAAAAah! Ok I'm embarrassed for initiating the whole event. Anyhow here's a picture I had to take of Eve at the look out we stopped at. This picture alone makes the whole thing so worth it.

Forgot to mention the second that I took this picture, she fell face forward. I felt sooooooooo bad. But DANG she looked so cute with all that dirt in her mouth! I took most of it off but decided to take a picture of her anyway.
