Not just another hike

Zachary helped plan a summer hike for our youth group. He's been waiting over 2 months for the event, and at the very last minute it seemed like it just wasn't going to happen like he'd hoped. However, it turned out to be a perfect day.

We met first to celebrate Mass, and headed out with packed lunches immediately afterwards. Eating at the trail head made for lighter packs on the hike, and since it was almost 1:30PM we were pretty hungry.

We stopped at the lake for sharing, led by Father, of course. Each person shared, we prayed, it was perfect.

While we were at the lake-side, I brewed some coffee for the adults. Actually it was instant coffee recently introduced by Starbucks. All I did was boil the water. Very good, I highly recommend!

Taking the time to hike with your some of your favorite people in the woods is worth every effort. I highly recommend!
