A hike in the woods

We are so fortunate to live just a few blocks from a giant mountain, carved with hiking and biking trails.
We took advantage of a sunny day and some free time this week as we ventured up the mountain with a gang of Scout friends and Charlie the dog.

The view from the top is sweeping, with water and city views to one side, and mountain views to the other. Of course the boys' favorite view was the view straight down the cliff!

Many of these boys are just about to cross from Webelos to Boy Scouts, and they could not be more excited.

As we prepare to award their Arrow of Light ranks, we look back on the wonderful adventures we've had as Cub Scouts together~ and look eagerly toward many more adventures as Boy Scouts...

Life is good.
