Yay!! We hit 67 degrees today in northeast Ohio!! So the kids and I went off to frolic in the woods with my sister and her kids. We met a group of moms at the park for a play date. Then Elishia and I thought it would be fun to take our 7 kidos out in the woods to walk one of the trails. We started off good , even little Kaitlyn had a skip in her walk . It was 67 degrees outside and the sun was shining .. life was good! Then what started off as a small hike turned into a hour long walk... Kaitlyn's little legs could walk no more so me being the good helpful aunt decided it would be quicker to hold her since Elishia was already carrying little Joey . So on we go with a little less hop in our step... but it was still so beautiful out and there were only a few complaints so far.. so on we go but this trail seems to have no end .. Did we take the 5 mile trail or what?! By now the kids faces had a rosy hue and they seem to be dragging a bit.... Finally we reach our destination and I went to check the time on my cell phone and realize there was no cell phone.. yep, my cell phone was now laying in some mud puddle out on the ridiculously long trail, who knows where!..... The kids were just happy to be finished and back on their bikes , so Elishia kept an eye on them while I took a deep breathe, hiked up my pants and headed out again in search of a pink Sony cell phone. We had already seen two snakes but were not very concerned since we sounded like a herd of elephants walking through the woods. I didn't think a snake would have risked getting trampled by 7 little sets of feet . Now me by my lonesome was a whole other story...So with determination in my step ... "quick "determination.... I did find my phone about half way back down the path ... and happy to say no snake sitings only a couple tired feet and sore legs...
