Mountain Hike

We flew into Haiti on August 19th, and today we finally got away and did something as a family!  We left early this morning to hike partway up the mountain behind our house.  It was a fun and beautiful outing!  We were home by a little after 10:00 this morning!  We hope to one day be able to hike all the way to the top!

It was so cute, because sometimes the kids would think, "we are almost to the top".  And then, we would come out from under the trees and see "THAT"!  as Alanna referred to the giant of the mountain that still remained looming above us!  :)

While Brianna hiked, she picked a bouquet of flowers. Toward the end of our hike, she gave her bouquet to the mother of one of our friends.  I am not sure how she managed to hold on to her flowers the entire time...but she did!
