Kate, Scott, Doobie and I took advantage of a beautiful Sunday morning to bring the kids on a foliage hike up Mt Ascutney in VT. ! The leaves were showing us their magic colors and the trails were kind to our little adventurers. Teelin and Chet were carried and had a nice ride up. Teelin did take a few steps here and there along the way down, but spent most of his trip perched in the backpack Doobie carried.
Monet and Louisa loved the hike and really wanted to do it all themselves, rather then get help.
This is the view from the summit road which we used to get almost to the top. Then a short accent from these lots allows you to summit without taking a all day hike. Perfect with 3 and 4 year olds! And yes Monet does have her sweater on backwards!
We found a fairy house along the trail which we stopped at for a while. We helped with a little upkeep and added our own touches and fresh moss. Fairy houses are something Monet & Louisa both love to make on their own and it was magical for them to come across one on our walk!!
Getting to the summit for a snack and some chocolate milk!
Monet was tired when we were at the top and slowly the grumpiness crept into her and she was so irritated with the situation a family shot was only possible with a view of her back. Oh well.
The whole group and Monet again only willing to show her back. Wonder what she will be like when she is 14?!?!?

This was a wonderful hike! The kids really enjoyed it as much as the adults! Looking forward to more family fun in the future!
We took Maria on a hike Columbus Day and she too loved it.
